It's all engines all the time this episode. Rusty ones, sticky ones, and one that doesn't burn oil. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full episode notes below: Ralph had to throw away his relatively new engine. His flying club has a 1968 Cherokee 180. They overhauled their engine, and the first annual looked good. On the second annual and after only 100 hours of flying, they had a stuck valve. Digging in they found extensive corrosion. Now past a second overhaul, they want to ensure it doesn't happen again. The hosts focus on how much (or little) the airplane flew with the new engine. 50 hours a year isn't much, especially if they weren't regular hours. An hour a week is great, for example, and something like 4 hours once a month is worse. They advise Ralph use camgard, fly more often, hangar it, and use an engine dehydrator.   Adam has a Cirrus SR20 on leaseback to a flight school with only 500 hours on it. A student was taking off, and around 900 feet they heard a bang, and experienced partial power and a loss of oil pressure. Lycoming took the engine back for an inspection. Sticking valves caused it to throw a rod. Mike said Lycomings often stick valves, and it's something that should be expected. The manufacturer recommends a wobble test per Lycoming Service Bulletin 388C every 400 hours in airplanes and 300 hours in a helicopter. You can go a thousand hours with the new valve guides. Mike stressed that it's also very important to be trained to detect morning sickness, which is usually the first sign of a valve sticking problem. If a cylinder doesn't light up with the others on a cold start, or feel rough, it indicates valve sticking and the engine should be shut down right away and examined by a mechanic. Colleen suggests having an eagle eye on the engine monitor during the first startup of the morning. Mike said leaning aggressively, especially on the ground, can also help. Adam asks if Lycoming's recommendation to run the engine up before shut down in order to clean the valves actually does so. Mike thinks it's just inconsiderate of those around you, and maybe not terribly helpful.   Jason runs mogas on his Cessna 182. Last year he was climbing through about 8,000 feet and the engine started to stumble. He added carb heat and a few other things, but the engine seemed to come back to life on its own. His Savvy account manager said it was probably vapor lock. Mike agrees with the account manager that the airplane was exhibiting vapor lock symptoms. He thinks it's possible that a fuel line might be close to the exhaust or something else is warming the fuel before it gets to the carb. Paul suspects it might be the fuel line to the JPI engine monitor transducer. They recommend wrapping it the fuel lines in fire sleeve to see if that improves the problem.   Thad has a 1977 Cessna 182Q. He had the engine rebuilt in 2021 and since then it has been “a rockstar.” He thinks it might burn too little oil. It's only burning about a quart every 50 hours. It makes more chromium and aluminum than the lab is happy with. He wonders if the lack of fresh oil is somehow concentrating the contaminants. It's possible he's not getting enough lubrication on the cylinders, Mike said. The chromium can only come from the rings and the valve stems. Usually the problems with the valve stems come combined with increased nickel because they are made of an alloy. Mike said the aluminum in his report is ok, although slightly high. Thad said they've borescoped the cylinders and everything looks good. There's still cross-hatching on the cylinder walls. The hosts are intrigued, but Mike thinks it's faulty thinking. They debate how much metal stays in suspension though the process of adding quarts. Mike suggests keeping an eye on the filter, but otherwise to keep flying.

Should you trade your aging airplane in anticipation of higher repair costs on your current bird? Mike, Paul, and Colleen have a strong opinion on this. Plus, sticky valves, taking good care of turbos, and engine monitor set-up frustrations. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show.

He's had a few instances where cylinders dropped off, the engine ran rough, and then they quickly came back on. It was followed by morning sickness. In essence he had a sticky valve. He found that his CHT temperatures were quite low. At altitude, running the airplane at best cruise power, his CHTs are about 350 degrees. In climb if he leans he can get three cylinders over 350. Mike said he wouldn't stress about the CHTs, but he would borescope the cylinders to verify that there isn't too much build-up.   Yuriy has a new-to-him 2010 Cirrus SR22 that's turbonormalized and he's looking for some tips on taking care of his turbos. He flies lean of peak at 28 inches. He is limiting turbine inlet temperatures at 1,500 degrees. Mike thinks 1,500 is excessively conservative. The red line is 1,650 degrees, and Mike tries to keep his at or below 1,600 degrees. He also doesn't subscribe to the one inch per minute reduction of manifold pressure. Lycoming at one time published a document that said not to cool CHT more than 60 degrees a minute. Mike's engine monitor alarm is at 30 degrees a minute, and he said it doesn't go off very often. He also doesn't cool the turbo on the ground before shutting down unless he had high power right before landing for some reason.   Wade has a Cessna 185 with an IO-550. On his last annual he had a few burned exhaust valves. He's trying to avoid higher maintenance bills in the future. Paul tries to make Wade feel better by telling him that burned valves have nothing to do with how he's operating the engine and everything to do with the lead in avgas. Going through his operating technique, the only suggestion they have is for Wade to lean much faster, and avoid using the lean find feature. The green arc on his manifold pressure gauge is also wrong. He was worried that he'd have to take off at partial power in order to stay in the green arc on the gauge. The hosts discuss how to reprogram the display.   Matt doesn't want to throw good money after bad. He's wondering how long you should hang on to an airplane as it ages. He has a 1977 Cessna T210. Parts are starting to get scarce. It's hard to find qualified mechanics. He feels like he wants a great airplane that lasts him well into the future. The hosts all agree that it's better to hold on to the airplane he knows, and not to worry about 210 parts availability, at least when compared to other airplanes. 

Clogged injectors, how to care for an engine while training, avoiding costly altimeter checks, and engine design considerations are on tap for this episode.

He saw that he had an EGT above 1,800 degrees and one that was below baseline. A run-up after landing made it seem like it one cylinder wasn't firing. A borescope inspection revealed nothing unusual. A subsequent check of the injectors found that there was debris in one. His mechanic suggested it was a blocked injector. He's wondering what would cause that. It turns out this event was soon after the annual when the injectors were cleaned. The hosts agree that the maintenance is clearly what caused the clogged injector. Mike said this is such a delicate operation that he thinks it's almost as if the fuel system should only be cleaned under sterile conditions. Colleen said she used to clean hers, but now doesn't because she knows the risks. Paul colorfully describes the problem of cross-contamination. Dylan teaches in a carbureted Seminole and he wants to treat the engines well, and is looking for best practices. He mentions shock cooling, which the hosts quickly debunk. The school's engines are over TBO and they've never had to replace a cylinder. Obviously whatever the school is doing is working. He's also wondering about failing the engines. Lycoming recommends failing the engine with mixture, but many people like to shut off the fuel. Mike said he wouldn't worry about shutting the engine down from the fuel selector, and that it shouldn't introduce air or other issues. Mike worked in the auto industry for many years, and he works on his own airplanes as much as possible. He's wondering why aircraft engines don't have ventilated crankcases. Mike said crankcase ventilation is primarily for environmental reasons. And piston aircraft engines have significantly more blowby. You don't want to keep it in the crankcase. He said air/oil separators return a lot of junk back with the oil. You want the filth to leave as much as possible. Doug has three altimeters in his airplane, and he's wondering how to save money on the checks. Mike thinks he shouldn't be charged three times for three checks because you hook up the equipment once, and adding on a second or third altimeter doesn't take too much additional time. Each check includes about five tests, according to Paul, and each has to be separately documented.

We visit the Brunswick Naval Aviation Museum in Maine and speak with the Vice President and Operations Manager, and the Executive Director. In the news, more furloughs and cost-cutting measures at Spirit Airlines, the FAA's final rule is out on powered-lift vehicles such as eVTOLS, a fuel top-off assumption leads to the loss of a Beechcraft B-60, the “doomsday plane” gets an official designation, and Boeing machinists vote again on a contract proposal. Guests At the Brunswick Naval Aviation Museum we spoke with Vice President and Operations Manager Jeff Smat and Executive Director John B. Briley. The Museum was founded in 2009 as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation with a mission to preserve the rich heritage of NAS Brunswick (NASB) by honoring the tens of thousands of men and women who served here, educate the public about the history of maritime patrol aviation and NASB, and maintain a memorial for those NASB-based airmen who gave their lives in service to their country. The museum is located at 179 Fitch Avenue, Brunswick, ME 04011. Currently, the Museum and Memorial Gardens are open Wednesdays (10:00 am-4:00 pm) and Sundays (12:00 pm-4:00 pm).

Aviation News Spirit to Furlough More Than 300 Pilots as Losses Mount Spirit Airlines is experiencing financial difficulty and a second-quarter net loss of $158 million. More red ink is expected for the third quarter. Last month the airline furloughed 186 pilots and plans to do the same for 330 more pilots effective January 31, 2025. (Spirit has 3,500 pilots.) About 120 captains are to be downgraded. Spirit says it will sell 23 of its Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft next year. That's a fleet reduction of about 11 percent. Energy Reserves and Pilot Training For eVTOLs Addressed in FAA's SFAR Rules The FAA issued its final rule for powered-lift vehicles, such as eVTOLS. The Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes - Final Rule adopts permanent amendments and a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for ten years to facilitate the certification of powered-lift pilots, clarify operating rules applicable to operations involving a powered-lift, and finalize other amendments which are necessary to integrate powered-lift into the National Airspace System (NAS). The Integration of Powered-Lift: Pilot Certification and Operations; Miscellaneous Amendments Related to Rotorcraft and Airplanes NPRM was issued in June 2023. Standing order to top off fuel tanks backfires on pilot In November 2022, the pilot of a Beechcraft B-60 (N51AL) assumed the FBO topped off the fuel tanks, per his standing fueling order, before hangaring the aircraft. But fuel was not added this time and the pilot landed in a cemetery when both fuel-starved Lycoming engines quit. The pilot and his wife sustained minor injuries. See Project Summary: Aviation Investigation - 3 Docket Items - ERA23LA050 from the NTSB. SNC Receives Second Boeing 747-8 for SAOC Conversion as Aircraft Gets E-4C Designation Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) now has the second of five Boeing 747-8s from Korean Air for conversion to “Doomsday aircraft,” which become airborne command centers during national emergencies. These provide critical command, control, and communication (C3) for the President, the Secretary of Defense, and the Chairs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The E-4C will replace the current fleet of E-4B Nightwatch B747-200 aircraft. The contract notice says the award was for $13 Billion. SOC recently cut the ribbon for its Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) at its Aviation Innovation and Technology Center (AITC) in Dayton, Ohio. This 100,000 sq. ft. hangar is located near Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Boeing Machinists head to the polls in decisive vote that could end strike

This episode is sponsored by The Plumbing Outlet and Coal Region Winery. Chad Lauer and Chad Evans sit down with local Community Revitalization leader Betsy Kramer. Betsy is the Community Revitalization Manager for SEDA-COG - An economic development organization and also Local Development District set up through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) serving 11 core central region counties: Center, Clinton, Columbia, Lycoming, Juniata, Mifflin, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, Snyder, Union. Betsy uncovers the hood of what is confusing to many. She explains the major need in our area and the difficult process of securing funding and getting projects off the ground. She explains how specific the grant writing process needs to be and the challenges involved. She also inspires so many that often they think she has an open "checkbook". Betsy leaves us feeling educated and wanting to be a larger part in our community revitalization efforts. She has secured and is working on administering nearly 7 million dollars worth of grants today and is working on securing millions more for the area. Let's celebrate her great work! Tune in today!

How do you know when to replace certain parts? They begin to talk to you. Find out what, why, how, and when when Mike, Paul, and Colleen tackle this and other questions.

Another member told him he shouldn't move the rudder by hand when he preflights. Mike said to make sure he pushes it at a rivet line to ensure he doesn't bend the sheet metal, but otherwise it's ok. Paul describes how the system is built. He said in a Skyhawk the rudder pedal tension is created by springs that pull them toward the firewall. There's not a cable tension spec. The steering bungees are between the rudder pedals and the nose gear. If you get in and push the pedals when stationary, you are putting stress on the bungees. Jarek wants to know if the FAA has lost its mind. He is wondering about the FAA's AC 20-105, which says that engines that run past TBO have a higher rate of failure, and that engine overhauls at TBO are usually cheaper than those that are run beyond. Mike said Lycoming had previously issued a white paper that said that the typical lifespan of a crankshaft was 14,000 hours. Camshafts have corrosion issues, and don't cause failures, and sometimes gears need to be replaced. But rarely does time impact safety. There are people inside the FAA who disagree with the policy, Mike says. On one hand they require manufacturers to set a TBO. On the other hand, they tell Part 91 operators that they can ignore it. Typically engines that fail that have run beyond TBO tend to be not related to age, but because of maintenance resulting from the fact that the engine is older. In fact, it's usually the opposite, Mike says. Lower time engines typically fail because of infant mortality. Aaron and a partner recently purchased a Seneca with turbo Continental TSIO-360-KBs. They installed new intercoolers and the manual revision suggests new power settings. He's ignored the chart and is flying around 30 inches lean of peak. Mike said the chart is interesting if you are operating rich of peak, but irrelevant lean of peak. The power output of the engine is determined by whichever component is in shortest supply. Rich of peak, you have more fuel than you need, so power is controlled by air through the throttle and the prop. Lean of peak, fuel is in shortest supply, so power is controlled through the mixture. He would run a slightly reduced throttle, just to avoid overworking the turbos. Rory has a Cardinal that he bought 12 years ago, and he hadn't ever changed the ignition wires. So he started to wonder about when and why to change them. The hosts agree that if a wire fails it feels like a stumble or mis-fire because it just takes one spark plug offline. They say to run them on condition, and only change them when they start talking to you through mis-firing.

Where did your "quality journey" start? In this first episode of a new series on quality, Bill Bellows shares his "origin story," the evolution of his thinking, and why the Deming philosophy is unique. TRANSCRIPT 0:00:02.3 Andrew Stotz: My name is Andrew Stotz, and I'll be your host as we continue our journey in the teachings of Dr. W Edwards Deming. Today, I'm continuing my discussion with Bill Bellows, who has spent 31 years helping people apply Dr. Deming's ideas to become aware of how their thinking is holding them back from their biggest opportunities. This is a new series called Misunderstanding Quality, and the topic for today is Quality Management, what century are we in? Bill, take it away.   0:00:35.7 Bill Bellows: Thank you, Andrew. [chuckle] All right.   0:00:39.5 AS: Exciting. I'm excited to hear what you've got going on in your mind about this Misunderstanding Quality.   0:00:45.6 BB: Well, first let me say that whether you're new to quality or looking for ideas on quality and quality management, quality improvement, quality management, the aim I have in mind for this podcast series is to improve your ability to manage quality through deepening your appreciation of the Deming philosophy and how to apply it. But specifically, a focus on quality, time after time, which is where most people heard about Deming, was through Quality, Productivity and Competitive Position. For example, the title of his first book. And relative to the title, what came to mind is an anecdote shared with me by two mentors that both spent a good deal of time with Dr. Deming. The first, Gipsie Ranney, who was a professor of statistics at University of Tennessee when she met Dr. Deming, went on to become a senior statistical consultant to GM and the first president of the Deming Institute, when Dr. Deming and his family, shortly before he died, formed a nonprofit called The Deming Institute. Gipsie and I used to speak literally every day, driving to work, driving home, we... "What's up, what's up?" And we always... It was so cool. I wish I had the recordings. Anyway, she once shared that she once asked Dr. Deming, "What do they learn in your seminars? What do attendees learn in your seminars?" To which she said Dr. Deming said, "I know what I said, I don't know what they heard."   [laughter]   0:02:26.0 BB: And along those lines, in the same timeframe, Bill Cooper who just turned 90, he and my wife share a birthday. Not the same year. Bill turned 90 last November and he was senior civilian at the US Navy's aircraft overhaul facility in San Diego, known as North Island. So as aircraft carriers are coming into San Diego, which is like the... I think they call it... It's like the headquarters of the Pacific Fleet. So as aircraft carriers are coming back, planes for which the repair work cannot be done on the carriers fly off to North Island. And Bill was in charge of, he said, some 5,000 civilians. And his peer on the military side, Phil Monroe was in charge of all the military people, and they got exposed to Dr. Deming's work in the early '80s, went off, left there, became Deming consultants. Anyway, Bill said he once asked Dr. Demings, says, "What percent of the attendees of your seminars walk away really understanding what you said?" And he said... Bill said Dr. Deming said, "A small percentage."   [laughter]   0:03:44.0 BB: And so what I had in mind in this series is... One is, what makes it hard to understand what Dr. Deming is talking about? And so for the listeners, what I'm hoping we can help you understand, what might be some invisible challenges that you're having in your organizations trying to explain this to others. So maybe you think your understanding is pretty good, but like Dr. Deming, maybe people are having a hard time understanding what you're saying. And I know what it's like to be in a room, presenting to people. And I had that same experience. I had one Rocketdyne executive... Rocketdyne was sold a few times. Every time it got sold, our Deming transformation efforts got set back a few years. So when the latest management team came in six, seven years ago, I met with one of the very top people, was explaining... Trying to explain to him for the first time what we had accomplished with some, I thought, absolutely amazing work by managing variation as a system. And he said something like, "So are people rejecting what you're saying?" And I said, "No, that's not it." He says, "So they're accepting what you're saying?" I said, "Well... " he said, "What's the problem?" I said, "What they accepted is not what I said." [laughter]   0:05:19.5 BB: I said, we're not in disagreement, but what they think they heard is... And that's when I found that I've experienced that. So anyway, so I wanted to get some background. So my first exposure to quality circles, and this is like... So I was living in this parallel universe, a heat transfer engineer working on rocket engines, and Quality comes into the organization. And unbeknownst to me, there's this quality movement going on, inspired by Dr. Deming, and we're on this wave. I had no idea. All I know is all of a sudden, we got Quality Circles, quality teams, every department...   0:06:03.8 AS: What year was that, roughly?   0:06:06.1 BB: 1984.   0:06:08.9 AS: Okay.   0:06:10.5 BB: Yeah. And I remember a book I was... I remember there was a pamphlet... You mentioned that. The company was AVCO, A-V-C-O, the Aviation Corporation, which is nearly as old as the Boeing Company. So it was one of the... So, Boeing gets into airplanes, the Wright Brothers get into airplanes, people are... Investors getting in, and AVCO, A-V-C-O, was formed by someone you likely heard of, Averill Harriman, major Wall Street guy at the time. And so anyway, I remember there being an AVCO book on quality circles. As you mentioned, I remember seeing that. And I remember just going along for the ride. I'm new to corporations, I'm just a subject matter expert in gas turbine heat transfer, and we're going to the... We got these things called quality circles, whatever. And I remember our department formed... Our department was a team, we had goals, and I remember going to these quality meetings, and let's say the goal would be that we read an article about heat transfer or something. I was just kind of fumbling with this thing called quality circles.   0:07:28.6 BB: But I remember, looking over the shoulder of the department secretary with a IBM Selectric typewriter, and this is before PCs, so we're using IBM 3270, dumb terminals. And I remember being over near the secretary, Kathy, and she's typing away the weekly activity reports, Friday morning kind of thing. And on a routine basis, I'd be over there and she'd be typing along. And then on the very last page, under the title, "Quality Circles," she would type in "Quality Circles are progressing as planned." [chuckle] 'Cause then these would be distributed to people in the department. So I'm watching her now create the next original. And it dawns on me, two things. One is, it's the very last topic in the meeting, in the weekly minutes, and two is it's the same damn thing every time, "Quality Circles are on plan." And I remember saying to her, "Why don't we just have that printed into the stationary?" [laughter]   0:08:39.5 BB: This is before I knew... For me, quality was just a seven-letter word. I don't know. So this is my exposure. And I remember thinking one of the quality goals we're thinking of in our department is... I think somebody even really brought this up, is we're gonna answer the phone by the second ring. That's gonna be our quality goal. And then, I remember we're negotiating for cleaning services. The floors were a mess. Tile floors, they were just a mess. And I remember in our department, we were lobbying to get better janitorial services, have the things cleaned more often. And next thing, we're negotiating with the VP of Engineering relative to, "Well, if your quality circles are on track, then I'll think about that." And it was just like... So it's some really ugly memories [chuckle] of this whole quality thing.   0:09:34.3 BB: But then I got into... I mentioned on the very first of our previous podcast, getting involved as a problem solving decision-making facilitator. I was hanging out with the HR training people, they had some... Their director of training, our director of training was a very astute guy and he was... I'm convinced, having met many people in that role, he knew what was going on. He knew a lot of the names in quality, not so... He knew of Deming's name, he knew of De Bono's name, Kepner-Tregoe, but he seemed to know his stuff. He's a fun guy to be with. And so, that's likely where I first heard Deming's name and that first book would've been Quality, Productivity and Competitive Position, which is... It's almost impenetrable, but I can remember at some point looking at that.   0:10:29.7 BB: But anyway, but in the fall of '87, I started being assigned a taskforce as helping... 'cause now I'm a problem-solving facilitator. But I still don't know... I don't know what quality is. All I know is I get invited to help solve problems. And we were looking at a very bad wear problem, these gears wearing each other out, enormous visibility to the Pentagon, because the tank engines we were making, 120 a month, were being shipped to the tank plant. And then, these tanks with these engines were being sent... The majority of them, sent to Europe. And they were the frontline of defense in Western Europe. This is the Cold War, Andrew.   0:11:17.4 AS: Right.   0:11:19.2 BB: And so the problem that came up was that a couple of these tanks had these gears wear through each other within 50 hours. And I've never been on such a high visibility taskforce because the Generals concern was that every one of those tanks was likely to not operate. And that might be the opportunity for the "Russki's" to launch World War III, because, what a great time, the tanks... If they knew these tanks weren't working. So it was a lot of stress, a lot of pressure. And after months of slow progress, the Army said, "Hey, why don't you guys go look at this Taguchi thing. The transmission people from General Motors who make the tank transmission, anytime they have a snafu like this, they use this Taguchi stuff." So I got assigned the action to go look at that. And I remember, this is pre-internet. And somehow, I did a literature search. I remember it was through something called Nerac, N-E-R-A-C. And out comes these pages. And the thing on Taguchi was... So first of all, who is this Taguchi guy?   0:12:29.0 BB: What is this quality stuff? I don't know. I'm a problem solving guy. And then I remember the first article on reference to Taguchi says, "Quality is the minimum of loss imparted to society by a product after a shipment to the customer." And I thought, "What does that mean?" So I don't know what... I mean, minimum of... I'm thinking... And I thought, "This can't be anything." So anyway, went out to General Motors and got exposed to what they were doing, and a few years later, realized it wasn't exactly Taguchi, but it was... There's some nuances there. But anyway, they exposed me to Design of Experiments and what's known as fractional factorial testing. And coupled with shifting how we look at the measurement process, we solved this problem within weeks, a problem that had been going on for months. So then I got excited about... This Taguchi thing's kind of cool. I'm liking this. And it was a lot more exciting than what I was doing. And I thought, "I think I wanna do this." So the following year, I went to the Taguchi conference. So we had the application and I was so excited, Andrew, that I was turned down for funding. The Army would have paid for me to go to this conference, 'cause the Army, by that point, had invited me to work on at least two problems.   0:13:54.4 BB: Once we solved the first one, when problems came up, the Army literally turned to the program management people at Lycoming and said, "Do a Taguchi study, get Bill Bellows involved." So I was walking on water. I thought it was kind of cool. So I wanted to go to this Taguchi conference, and it was turned down. And they said, "It's not your job." So I told my boss when they told me it was gonna be turned down, I said, "I'm going to this conference." I said, "Whether the company pays for it or not, I am going." So I drove 14 hours each way to Detroit. And in the room are all the US experts on Taguchi's ideas at the time. I didn't know who Deming was at the time. I still didn't know what quality was, but I walked outta there thinking, "This is what I wanna do." And then, where I'm getting to is, a few months later, I was gonna go out on medical I had surgery planned.   0:14:53.1 BB: I was gonna be out for about two months. So my wife and I lived in New Haven, maybe 10 miles north of Yale. And I remember going to the... Again, this is pre-Amazon. I mean, talk about dating ourselves. What century are we in? So I remember going with my wife to the Yale bookstore, the Yale co-op bookstore, and every book they had on quality, I bought. And I'm gonna sit home for two months and read all these books. And I remember buying books. I'm pretty sure I got books about Deming, some about Taguchi, some by Phil Crosby about Zero Defects. Six Sigma Quality entry was a year away.   0:15:35.7 BB: And so I sat down... I got out of the hospital, I'm resting at home, sitting on the couch every day and reading, and also calling the Taguchi people that I had met, I think, at the previous conference. I met some big names. So I'm reading the books, calling them up. And again, these are like my personal professors. And I remember saying to a few of them... What blew me away, and I don't... It somehow dawned on me, I was naive. In the world of engineering, we use... Most of my exposure, at least in heat transfer, we use the same terms the same way. We talk about radiation heat transfer, conduction heat transfer, convection heat transfer. So many of the terms are the same terms, so we can have a conversation. So I'm thinking the same thing applies in quality, that we're all like the heat transfer people. It's easy to communicate 'cause we got the same models. We're using the same words the same way. Then I started thinking, I'm no longer... And this is a real shock. I'm no longer thinking we're using the same words the same way, hence my introduction to misunderstanding quality, [laughter] or I would say, the beginning of a journey to better understand the... I think there are incredible opportunities for people in quality organizations, or people that wanna get into quality.   0:17:08.3 BB: I think it's an ideal opportunity to introduce Deming's ideas. And I say that because everybody else is doing their own thing. Engineering's off designing, Manufacturing's off producing, and Quality has an incredible opportunity to bring together Deming's sense of a systems view of quality. Nobody else has that charter. So my hope is in our conversations, we can help people that are trying to do some things, whether it's jumpstart their continuous improvement program or get their quality program out of what it currently is. In fact...   0:17:52.4 AS: By the way, I wanna...   0:17:55.9 BB: Go ahead, go ahead.   0:17:56.0 AS: I wanna ask a question about that, because what you've mentioned is interesting, that the systems aspect... Is that unique? Would you say that's unique to Deming? I mean, if we think about Taguchi and I think about the Taguchi Method, I'm thinking about a really powerful tool for understanding variation. But explain what you mean by that.   0:18:24.0 BB: A couple of things come to mind when you ask that question. One is the predominant explanation of quality. And if we have time, I wanna talk about that. The term quality, "qualitas," comes from Cicero, a Roman in ancient times. But by and large, in manufacturing, in corporate quality, in corporations, the operational definition, what do we mean by quality? This thing is... What are Quality organizations doing? And what I find they're doing is calling balls and strikes. They're looking at a given quality characteristics, whether it's the fuel economy of an engine, of a gas turbine engine, the performance, the thrust level of a rocket engine, the diameter of a hole, and asking, "Does that characteristic of surface roughness diameter, does it meet a set of requirements?"   0:19:30.4 BB: And the requirements are typically set... There's a lower one and an upper one. We don't say the meeting is gonna start at 10 o'clock, because if you understand variation, we can't get exactly 10. We can't get exactly 1.00 inch thickness for the plate, for the hole diameter. So then, we define quality. Typically, this is what people do in organizations. This is what I... I didn't know anything about this until I started... Well, what are quality people doing? They're asking, "Does this thing meet requirements?"   0:20:07.4 BB: And even towards that end, I remember asking a... I had a coworker who's a quality engineer, I've got many friends who are quality engineers, and this one guy came into a class one day that I was doing, and he's just beating his head against the wall over... I said, "What's...what have you been doing lately." He says, "All I'm doing Bill is dispositioning hardware, dispositioning hardware," which translates to trying to find out why something doesn't meet requirements and coming up with a corrective action, or buying it as is. So either changing the requirements or explaining why we can use it as is. But he's just like, "That's all I'm doing lately. I'm just getting overwhelmed with all this." So I said, "Well, what if overnight, by some miracle, you were to come in, and beginning first thing tomorrow morning, everything meets requirements." And that's the goal of quality in most organizations, is that everything meets requirements. So I said, "If everything beginning tomorrow morning, through some overnight miracle, meets requirements, hence forth, how would your life change?" He says, "I wouldn't have a job." [laughter]   0:21:26.9 BB: I said, "What other changes would you begin to see throughout the day, the coming days?" He says, "My boss's job wouldn't exist." I said, "Okay, keep going, keep going." He says, "Well, the whole organization will have no reason to exist." [laughter] And that's not farfetched. And I throw that out, the challenge to our listeners is, seriously, if everything in the organization beginning tomorrow morning met requirements through some... Dr. Deming would say as you know, by what method? Let's say the method exists, what would change? Now, I'm not saying these people necessarily get laid off. Maybe they get moved elsewhere. Maybe we set our sights higher and try to do things we've never done before, 'cause now everything's gonna be a home run. But that's what I find in corporations, I think, a very extremely commonplace 21st century Andrew explanation of quality is, "Does it meet requirements?" And that goes... And this whole idea of setting requirements, setting a lower and an upper, allowing for variation, that goes back to the early 1700s. And I've also read that it might go back even longer in China. We were talking earlier about China.   0:22:58.2 BB: And so if it goes back longer, all the better. And the point being, fast forward to today, that's largely where we are today, in this early 1700s. Does it meet requirements? Yes or no? And what Dr. Deming is talking about is not acceptability. First of all, he would say there's a place for acceptability. There's a place for meeting requirements, maybe based on the circumstances, all that matters is that it meets requirements. So if you're a pitcher and you're throwing a ball and the batter can't hit the ball, and as long as it's somewhere in the strike zone, or if you're kicking the ball into the net in a football match or otherwise known as soccer in the States, maybe the goalkeeper's so bad, all you gotta do is... They'll jump out of the way.   0:23:49.7 BB: Now, on the other hand, there may be a different batter or a different goalkeeper where you've gotta go where they aren't. And that gets into understanding variation and where we are in meeting requirements matters. And what I find is most organizations I've ever interacted with, and this is through Rocketdyne, as owned by Boeing, going to many different divisions of Boeing around the country, doing seminars across England, across New Zealand, university classes and university lectures, hundreds of them. I've never come across... With rare exception have I ever come across anyone who says, "Bill, in our organization, quality is more like what Dr. Deming is talking about." Meaning, "We are doing more than meeting requirements, we are focusing on where the ball is placed in the strike zone, where the ball is placed in the net, and we specialize in that because we have seen great advantage." Most people I present this to don't even know that's a possibility, don't even know it's anything to lobby for.   0:25:12.0 BB: And so to that I'd say, whether you're looking at Operational Excellence, which is kind of a hybrid of Lean and Six Sigma or Six Sigma alone, or Lean alone, everything I've studied in all of those go back to the question of quality being... Quality's defined Phil Crosby-wise, which is striving for zero defects, striving for everything meeting requirements, and then we're done. And when I joined The Deming Institute, part of my excitement was helping the organization differentiate Dr. Deming's ideas over these other quality management ideas and other management ideas as uniquely positioned to differentiate, to understand that there's an opport... There are incredible opportunities for realizing that everything that meets requirements is not the same. And how do we put a value on that? And one is, the better we understand that, the better we can minimize scrap and rework problems if we're paying attention to where we are, if the process is in control, if we can use that concept from variation. And then simultaneously, another...   0:26:35.7 BB: There's two opportunities. One is, I think the better we manage variation, the less likely we're gonna have scrap and rework. Wouldn't that be great? And two is that that buys us time to think about... 'cause now that we're not in that constant firefighting mode, now we can start to think about how to manage variation of the system and to improve how things integrate. And we did both of those at Rocketdyne. But I've yet to find many organizations who say, "Been there, done that. Been there, done that."   0:27:12.1 AS: So, if we think about the takeaways for someone listening or watching this, you've talked about Misunderstanding Quality, you've talked about everything meet requirements, you've talked about, what century are we in? So, what should they take back to their business from this discussion that can give them a foundation of a starting point of this series and what you're saying on this point? What do you want them to take away?   0:27:40.3 BB: First, I would say I wouldn't necessarily go tell anybody about this yet. [laughter] I'd say, "Hmm, this Deming stuff. There's something to this. What I'm hearing from Bill is there's something here that I can't get elsewhere." You can listen to our prior sessions. There's 22 of them. We're gonna be adding new aspects to that...   0:28:07.9 AS: Okay. So, let's talk about that for a second. So, learn on your own first. Maybe it's a personal transformation. Start with that?   0:28:09.9 BB: Yes.   0:28:14.8 AS: Okay.   0:28:16.1 BB: Absolutely... Yes, absolutely...   0:28:18.1 AS: What would be number two that you want them to get away from this?   0:28:22.9 BB: Well, my advice is, you're not crazy that there's things about the Deming philosophy that are unique, that are... I think so much... There's a lot of people excited by what Dr. Deming's offering. I think there's more than meets the eye. I mean...   0:28:46.1 AS: Okay, so let's talk about that for a second. So, there's unique things about Deming, and one of them that you talked about is the systems thinking?   0:28:54.6 BB: Yeah. I mean, imagine... What I liken it to, instead of zero defects being the goal, which is what most organizations are striving for, and their quality systems are about, "We wanna get zero defects over here, over here, over here." We're juggling all these places, trying to get to zero defects all over the place. What if they saw zero defects as not the destination, but the starting point? That, to really understand continual improvement, zero defects is not the goal. Imagine that as the starting point. At least, imagine the ability to go across that apparent finish line and realize... Or the analogy I would use is, go through the door called "zero defects is the end," and realize there's a lot more, there's so much more to do when you start to look at things with a Deming view. And so, instead of thinking, we're striving for zero defects and then we're done, to me, that's the starting point to really begin to appreciate what it means to look at systems.   0:30:07.7 AS: Okay. So we've got, start with your own personal transformation and learn the material, and understand that there's some unique things about the Deming teachings, in particular, systems. And understand that... I kind of visualized while you were talking, a person walking along with no knowledge of many things, but they're inquisitive, and what they find is a wrench. And then they start to find that there's ways to use this wrench in their daily life. And then later, they find that there's other tools like a screwdriver. And all of a sudden, they found this world of tools, and now they have this amazing toolbox. But then all of a sudden, they meet someone that's taking those tools and creating a car, or a this, or a that. And then they realize, maybe the tool has gotta be the starting point, or is a starting point. But what the tools can create and what additional tools can create is so much bigger than just that first wrench that you picked up.   0:31:14.2 BB: It's the appreciation. And I'm glad you brought those points up. Dr. Deming talks about tools and techniques. A control chart is a tool. A run chart is a tool. Design of Experiments are... These are tools. And so that's a tool. A technique is, how do we create a control chart? That's a technique. What I try to do with audiences, whether it's clients or university classes or whatever, is help them differentiate. Tools and techniques are about improving efficiency, doing things well. Doing something faster or cheaper... What's unique to Dr. Deming is not the tools you'll find him talking about, but the concepts he's talking about, and the idea of looking at things as a system. Dr. Deming defines quality, and it can be obtuse for people. I find it fascinating. He says, "Product or service possesses quality if it helps someone and enjoys a sustainable market." So, traditional quality is me throwing the ball to you, Andrew, or passing a football or basketball, whatever it is, and judging the quality of the pass when the ball leaves my hand. And we say, "That was a good pass."   0:32:49.9 BB: What Dr. Deming's talking about is, it's a good pass, just as if it's a good conversation, if you can hear what I say, we can go back and forth. And so, Deming's perspective on quality is not what's good for me, the producer, but it's how well does it fit you that I'm delivering something that matches... That we're synchronous, that... It has to be good for you, not just me checking off and saying, "This is good, this is good, this is good. Boom." That it's not good until you say it's good. That's a different view. It's the same thing as, "Well, I told you." Then you say, "Well, I didn't hear it." I says, "Well, then why don't you have your ears checked?" [laughter] Dr. Deming's talking about, it's not a conversation if you can't hear it. And so, when he's explaining to Bill Cooper and Gipsie that people are having a hard time, he was struggling to improve that 'cause he knew that when you begin to understand that what you're saying is not heard, Deming understood it was his obligation to try harder. And part of the Deming philosophy is understanding that it's not just me throwing it and saying, "There it is." It's listening for the feedback as to, "Did it make sense?" So, quality in that arena is a mutual phenomenon, not unilaterally my thing.   0:34:16.7 AS: Okay.   0:34:17.8 BB: And I would welcome anyone, as we've done in the past, to reach out if there are questions, comments, observation you'd like to share, and we can use that feedback in future sessions.   0:34:30.6 AS: Fantastic. Well, that's an excellent kickoff. And let's end with the idea that quality is a mutual phenomenon. I think that's a good statement. So Bill, on behalf of everyone at The Deming Institute, I want to thank you again for this discussion. And for listeners, remember to go to deming.org to continue your journey. And if you want to keep in touch with Bill, just find him on LinkedIn. This is your host, Andrew Stotz, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Deming, "People are entitled to joy in work."

Can you fly a turbocharged airplane lean of peak? Absolutely! This episode, Mike, Paul, and Colleen describe how to do it. Email podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to get on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below. Mike flies a turbo 206 and a 421 and is trying to fly lean of peak but the airplanes are running a bit rough. He wonders if there are tricks on turbocharged engines. The GAMI spread is half a gallon, so that's not an issue. Paul said to start by getting the magneto timing really close and gap the spark plugs very tight. Mike said he might be trying to keep the cylinders too cool, which would make it run rougher. He recommends targeting 400 or 410 degrees on the Lycoming engines. Adam read Mike's column in AOPA PILOT about LSA viability when the manufacturer goes out of business. He's been interested in buying an LSA, but the story gave him pause. The FAA wants nothing to do with LSAs, Mike said. The hosts then discuss the differences between certification and ASTM acceptance, and what it means to potential owners. Garhett has had a bunch of maintenance-related failures, and it has prompted him to be more involved in his airplane's maintenance. He's now wondering the best way to obtain his A&P certificate. Paul suggests he should start by reading the FAA manuals. It took Mike 10 years to amass the required hours by working on his own airplanes under supervision. Short of going to school or getting a job as an apprentice, this is the best route. They then discuss creative ways to build experience. Victoria wonders how to keep the family airplane clean when the airport doesn't allow water to be used. Mike and Paul suggest flying somewhere else and washing it. Colleen said she would use water or cleaner wax from a spray bottle. Paul really likes Crazy Clean, but cautions against using anything other than water during pollen season. For windshields, Paul said Cessna recommends a lot of water, Dawn, and your hand. Definitely don't use power tools, they say. 

This episode Mike, Paul, and Colleen help an owner with an engine that randomly dies after 2100 rpm. Plus, the role of avgas as a lubricant, prop governor issues, and getting back into maintenance. Email your question to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Join the world's largest aviation community at aopa.org/join Full notes below: Dennis has a Cardinal RG with a prop governor issue. When it's warm, the prop underspeeds just a little. He's done a bunch of troubleshooting, and he is at a loss. The manufacturer said to send his prop in, but he is reluctant to do that given how often prop shops deem them unfit for continued service. Dennis is an A&P and he asks if he is allowed to open up the governor and work on it. Mike said he doesn't advise it because he both can't do it legally and doesn't have the right tools. Both Paul and Colleen said their props do the same thing, and they recommend he crank up the rpm just a little since a small amount of overspeed is allowed under the type design. Luis is looking to get back into aviation maintenance after earning an A&P many years ago. The hosts debate the FAR, which says that a mechanic is current if the Administrator deems he or she so, or if the mechanic has served as a technician for the past six months. The hosts think Luis should use the preventative maintenance provisions to do the work without supervision. Jeff built an airplane with a PZL Franklin 235 and the engine won't make full power. The static rpm is 2800, and anything beyond 2100 kills the engine. He thinks either his homemade exhaust is causing too much back pressure, or there was a manufacturing issue. He wonders if there's a way to isolate the problem. The ignition timing is set to 32 degrees, which is the manufacturer spec. Mike and Paul recommend backing off the timing first to see what happens. Paul suggests he could also remove part of the exhaust to see what happens. Josh wonders if we are too eager to get off avgas, specifically because of its proprieties as a lubricant. He's always heard that it lubricates valves, but Mike thinks it's probably not a concern. It's true that before valve seats were hardened, there was some microwelding, which led to valve seat recession. Lycoming switched to hardened valve seats in the 90s, and Continental switched in the early 2000s. There is a possibility that some of the older Continental cylinders could have problems with valve recession, but it's too early to tell. He details the work that AOPA is doing with the dual-fuel Baron, which is seeking to understand some of these issues.

Hi I'm Scot Cooper and welcome to the Tales From the Trail Podcast. In this episode I'm joined by Chris Norris, head coach of men's soccer at the College of William and Mary. We welcome one of his former youth players, Mason McKnight. Mason discusses his recruiting story and how he arrived at the decision to attend Lycoming College. His first semester and season at Lycoming left him wanting a different college experience. As a result, Mason chose to transfer to Randolph-Macon College. This is an important discussion for anyone making the decision to attend college- it brings focus to finding the right fit when in the recruiting process. SummaryThe conversation explores Mason McKnight's experience with the college soccer recruiting process, his decision to attend Lycoming College, and his subsequent transfer to Randolph-Macon College. Mason discusses the importance of camps, physical and mental preparation, and the value of adaptability. He highlights the significance of team culture and the impact it had on his decision to transfer. The conversation also touches on the transfer process and the role of the transfer portal in finding a better fit. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of finding the right fit academically, athletically, and socially in the college recruiting process. In this conversation, Mason McKnight discusses the importance of observing local teams and the value of a tight-knit team. He shares his experience of seeing the William & Mary team play and how it influenced his decision-making process. The conversation concludes with a reflection on Mason's story as a positive example for prospective student athletes.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background04:15 Starting the Recruiting Process07:46 Coach's Perspective on the Recruiting Process11:11 Preparing Physically and Mentally14:18 The Importance of Camps16:24 The Value of Adaptability18:29 Choosing Lycoming College22:10 The Soccer Experience at Lycoming31:46 Reasons for Transferring40:09 Investigating Team Culture46:02 The Transfer Process48:12 The Importance of Fit and the Transfer Portal50:42 The Importance of Observing Local Teams51:44 The Value of a Tight-Knit Team52:16 Mason's Story as a Positive Example

Matt Leon spoke with Widener head coach Mike Barainyak to get some insight into what his team's potential is this season.

Live from EAA Airventure 2023, check out our second in-person show. The questions come fast, and everything from proper leaning to oil leaks is covered. Can Oshkosh-goers stump Mike, Paul, and Colleen? Full notes below: The first question has Colleen in stitches. Can you widen the gap on your spark plugs to get more horsepower from an engine? Short answer? No! Don't do it, the hosts agree. Even Colleen, who races airplanes at Reno, says she's never heard of doing this. Richard has a 182 and says the book will allow for high rpm and low manifold pressure, or low rpm and high manifold pressure for a given percent power setting. He wants to know which is better for the engine. The hosts say that rpm puts strain on the engine, so they would choose high manifold pressure and low rpm. The idea of “oversquare” is a relic and not at all true, they say. Julie has a 1979 Grumman Tiger and she wants the hosts to address owner-produced parts. Owner-produced parts must be made to the original spec from the manufacturer, which can be hard to track down. But, assuming the owner can find the spec, he or she must be involved in the manufacturing process. Ultimately it's up to the mechanic to decide whether or not to install the part, and therefore take on all the liability. Bottom line is work with the mechanic early to get his or her blessing. Vedant asks how many more hours he can operate the 2,900-hour engine in his Bonanza. His engine has good compressions and only burns a quart every 20 hours. Colleen said conditioning monitoring is all about catching early indications of problems. Mike said there are only two compelling reasons to overhaul an engine. One is that you have solid evidence that there is something wrong in the bottom end that can't be rectified without splitting the case. The other reason is that you can't sleep at night. Terry has a 182 with an O-470 and can't keep cylinder 1 below 400 degrees, even at altitude. That's the right rear cylinder with a vertical baffle right behind it. He checked that. When it's one cylinder Colleen said it's usually airflow. Paul suggested a GAMI lean test and an induction leak test as well, just to be sure. Rex has a 182 and wonders about flying in the smoke that's been prevalent around the country this year. The consensus is that smoke won't hurt the engine, but changing the oil and induction air filter more often are good ideas. Tim wants to know about leaning his Mooney M20C. He wonders whether he should lean until it's pretty smooth or really smooth. Mike said you have to accept a small amount of additional roughness if you want to run really lean. David has a 1979 172N and he's wondering if he can use Camguard with his Lycoming 0-320-H2AD. Mike said he should use the AD-compliant additive just to remain legal. Greg asks for downsides to using variable-timed electronic ignitions in a carbureted engines. Paul said the risk is if they advance too far you can get into detonation. He recommends checking the cylinder head temperatures to make sure they aren't too high. Advanced timing will show high CHTs and low EGTs, and retarded timing is the opposite. Jack has a Piper J-3 Cub with a Continental C-85 with only 40 hours. After flying he finds oil all over the belly but no obvious leaks. Paul said if the breather line is cut at the wrong angle it can actually cause a vacuum and draw oil out of the case. Mike said to borescope the cylinders with the intake valve open. It should be dry. If it's wet you know where the oil is coming from. Mike asks about rpm on the ground and lead scavenging. The hosts say to lean as far as you can, regardless of rpm. Mike said not leaning on the ground is the biggest cause of valve sticking. Paul mentioned that Cessna now recommends leaning while at 1800 during the run-up and he said you can use that setting for ground leaning.

Phoebe Wagner, Assistant Professor of English at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA, writer and editor, speaking about solarpunk as a literary genre, in anticipation of the release of "When We Hold Each Other Up: A Solarpunk Novella," on April 18, 2023, by Android Press. There will be a reading and book-signing in the HRC in the Academic Center on the Lycoming campus on April 18 at 4:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public. www.lycoming.edu/english www.phoebe-wagner.com/

Laurie Weinreb-Welch, MPH, MCHES, Food, Family and Health Educator, Food, Family and Health Team, Penn State Extension, in Lycoming and Clinton County, on the LIFT strength-training program, we'll discuss the program for individuals over the age of 40 who want to launch into Lifelong Improvements through Fitness Together. We'll discuss functional training, the group sessions, why participate in the program, and the advantages of lots of movement. 

When a small child was found hungry and crying inside an abandoned automobile parked along a rural stretch of Lycoming County in the summer of 1922, the first chapter of a perplexing mystery was written. When the bodies of a man and woman, their throats slashed as if by a razor, were found a few feet away in the waters of Lycoming Creek, the mystery deepened, and to this day no one knows if Henry Shearer and his wife were victims of a double murder or a murder suicide.

Did you know things live in jet fuel? These are the fun things you learn being a mechanic. Mike, Paul, and Colleen enlighten us on this strange fact, and tackle questions on leaning, burned exhausts, puddles of oil, and how not to set your airplane on fire when preheating. Email podcasts@aopa.org with your question for a chance to be on the show. Full notes below: Chris owns a Piper Comanche with 1900 hours on the engine, and it that has developed an oil leak of one quart every 2.5 to 3.5 hours. Fuel tank sealant and an air/oil separator didn't work. Paul says there's no way he is leaking that much oil from a leak in the crank case. He suspects another issue. Mike said Lycoming has a procedure to slather a sealant on the case seam. Since there's a lot on the belly Mike thinks it might be going out the breather. He suggests a ring wash. Lance flies a Cessna 185 and is worried about his leaning procedure. He's recently replaced all six cylinders and is concerned his leaning procedure may have caused some problems. He's worried that by learning until roughness and then enriching slightly he's in the “red box.” Paul said if the engine is running rough, at least one cylinder has quit firing, so he's very lean at that point. Mike said the GAMI spread should be less than a gallon per hour. The GAMI spread is the difference in fuel flow between when the first cylinder peaks and when the last cylinder peaks. Assuming he only enrichens enough to stop the roughness, and no further, and his GAMI spread is good, he's likely fine. If the CHTs are all below 400 degrees F and he's less than 60 to 65 percent power, he has nothing to worry about. Chris number two asks about corrosion in fuel tanks. He works on turbine aircraft and often sees a brown staining on fasteners inside fuel tanks and he's wondering whether it should be replaced. Paul said it's only when the materials starts to degrade when you need to worry about it. He said a good rule of thumb is that if the part number imprint is still there that it can be left alone. Brad is wondering about pulling the prop through prior to starting. The general idea is apparently to move the oil around. Colleen said there's no truth to any of it. You'll scrape the oil off the cylinder walls if there's any left. You can either preheat to heat the oil up on cold days, or you can pre-oil the engine if it's been sitting a long time. Paul warns against pulling the prop through for safety. There's no value in turning it backwards, and turning it forward can start the engine if you aren't careful. Barry has a Tiger that had a muffler that lasted a long time when he ran rich of peak. Since running lean of peak or near peak his flame cones have burned out within 400 hours. Colleen talked to a local exhaust rebuilder who said he believes running lean of peak is burning up exhausts. It's not because of the exhaust gas temperature, per se, but more likely the oxygen content of the flame at those mixtures. Jeff had a student with a Cessna 172 that he thinks has a tachometer from a Piper. It was replaced in 1993, and had been correctly signed off every year since. He's wondering how that happens and what the pilot's responsibility is in this case. Mike, Paul, and Colleen agree that an IA wouldn't necessarily catch it on the inspection, although instruments and markings are part of the annual inspection checklist. Paul said he's mostly concerned with the redline, and not necessarily the green arc.

'Tis the Pod before Christmas and Blackstone Joe is back with a triple-header of oil analysis topics. Do high wear levels go hand in hand with a high-mileage motor? A Toyota Tacoma and its 1GR-FE hitting 400,000 miles provide insight into our expectations from an aging engine (01:54). Then, Joe tackles an email question about what's the right time to sample a freshly rebuilt Lycoming IO-540 is. Hint: it's sooner than you'd expect (05:25). Thirdly, Joe breaks down the latest sample from an MB SL500, the first since we found high levels right after the new owner had completed the purchase. If you think engines can't improve their wear profile as they age, you might want to think again. Plus! An announcement! The Slick Talk phone lines are open. Leave a message, question, or shoutout for Blackstone Joe at 614-407-6169 to be featured on an upcoming episode. Host: Joseph Adams Producer: Joshua Straley

8:30am to 9:00am: Robert Garrett, President, and CEO Greater Susquehanna Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Art Thomas, Chairman GSVCC, President Meck-Tech and Diversified Construction Inc., had their reaction to the latest US and PA jobless numbers. We talked about inflation, supply chain, workers, impediments to development and forgiving their loans. 8:40am: Jason Fink, President and CEO, Williamsport/Lycoming County Chamber of Commerce, reacted to the jobless numbers, the mission and work of his chamber, the $40 million in local economy of Little League World Series, and how they are addressing the worker shortage.

Amanda Waldman, Democratic candidate for US Congress 9th district, on her candidacy for US Congress. We talked about why she is running, how she's campaigning and what she says are the biggest issues in the race. She says she's ‘Unbought. Unbossed. Unapologetic.' she explained how her principles and ideals led her to politics. We found out about her background, work and live experiences and goals in office. She talked about the big issues in the campaign, and she did a ‘compare and contrast' with the GOP candidate in the race. We got get her views on the economy right now, abortion impacting the fall elections and other topics.

Today we're heading to Collegeville to check in with the Division III Ursinus Bears. Ursinus is a member of the Centennial Conference, and the Bears are coming off a 7-4 season that saw them earn a berth in the Centennial MAC Bowl series, where Ursinus battled Lycoming before falling short 31-23. Ursinus is coached by Peter Gallagher, and Matt Leon caught up with him to talk about this season and what he expects. Ursinus opens the season at Alvernia on Friday September 2, for a 7pm kickoff. 

Wir können in Europa schon sehr viel in eigener Hand an unseren Flugzeugen selbst Instand halten. Viele Eigner trauen sich dann aber doch nicht und geben Ihr Fluggerät dann doch lieber in erfahrene Hände. Das muss aber nicht so sein, wie weit man selbst am geliebten Flieger "schrauben darf", das klären Johann und Malte in diesem Interview.

This episode is comprised of four acts. Act 1: Open: An update on the Paul Blart Saga at Blackstone Laboratories.Act 2: A Lycoming owner switches to 15W/50 and we find a noticeable change in the trends, one element in particular. Was it a problem or not? Listen and you'll hear Blackstone Joe unpack the outcome.Act 3: Seawater can reach the engine oil, but will it always show up the same way? It's all about how severe the situation is. Blackstone Joe explains why there may or may not be water left in the oil, and how we can find evidence of seawater even when there is no actual moisture left in the used oil.Act 4: An update on Slick Talk media

Is shock cooling myth or reality? Can you run lean of peak with a carbureted engine? These questions and many more come at Mike, Paul, and Colleen in this month's episode. Send your questions to podcasts@aopa.org Full notes below: Jerry has an RV-4 with a new battery but the original alternator. When he starts the engine and then turns on the alternator, he sees a big amperage spike. He tested turning on his alternator before starting, and sees the same spike. That piece of information is critical because according to the hosts it means it must be an instrument indication. Without the engine operating and the alternator not turning, it can't possibly be producing current. Ken has a Mooney M20 and thinks the inside of the tail section is messy and ugly. He's looking for a way to clean it out. A vacuum won't work because the flakes are sticky. Paul suggests that because it's sticky someone has sprayed a corrosion inhibitor and only hand scrubbing will get it completely clean. Once it's clean, he suggests spraying in a thin coating of Cor-Ban (https://zipchem.com) or Ardrox AV8. Dave flies a 1946 Cessna 140 and a Hatz biplane with a carbureted engine. He wants to know how to fly lean of peak. Mike says that Lycoming engines are pretty symmetrical out of the factory, which means they are often ok to run lean of peak from the factory. Continentals are less so. The rear cylinders tend to run leaner and front cylinders tend to run richer. By reducing the droplet size you can better dial it in. Do this by using a little bit of carb heat to better atomize the fuel. The other method is to back the throttle off a little bit to make the airflow through the carb more turbulent. Without instruments to help, the technique is to lean aggressively until the engine stumbles and then enrichen only until the engine runs smoothly again. Steve is wondering about unleaded fuels in development. He wants to know if the hosts would hesitate to use any of these new fuels in their airplanes. And also if their operating procedures will change as a result. Mike, Paul, and Colleen say they would have no hesitation running one of the fuels once it's approved. They also don't expect any operating changes. Guest Mike wonders why the hosts don't ever talk about leaning in a descent. Host Mike stresses that although power changes should happen somewhat slowly, it's not as slow as he used to think. Lycoming recommends limiting cooling to no more than 60 degrees per minute, and Mike has an alarm set on his engine monitor for 30 degrees per minute. The only time it ever goes off if he's doing an “extreme slam dunk.” Colleen makes the point that aerobatic pilots often oscillate between full idle power. Hannah flies a Super Decathlon and wants to make sure she takes care of it while doing aerobatics. Colleen says to keep it under 6Gs and a close eye on the engine mounts because they are the flexible attach point between the engine and the airframe. Although Hannah was originally asking about general tips, the hosts find out that she has experienced a governor failure that spewed out almost all her oil. Mike asks about rpm overspeed and Hannah said she noticed that used to happen before the governor failed. She's also seen a drop in oil pressure in the dive. If her inverted system isn't working well it would starve the governor of oil.

Oil all over the nose, cylinders that are too clean, and bush propeller repairs. Mike, Paul, and Colleen handle it all this month. Submit your questions to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Adam wonders what to do after a prop overhaul left him with a huge puddle of oil and some shaken nerves. His plan is to remove the newly overhauled prop and send it to the manufacturer. Paul questions whether it was an install error because a seal between the shaft and the prop seal can be broken during the install process. Mike agrees and thinks the manufacturer won't find anything wrong. Mike has a Cessna 150 with a 150 horsepower upgrade. He said the seller recommended not running it on Autogas because Lycoming never approved it. Mike says check Lycoming service bulletin 1070AB. It lists which fuels are approved for which engines. Paul correctly makes the point that the whole point of the STC is that it enables you to do things that the manufacturer wouldn't necessarily have allowed. Mike said so long as there isn't an operating limitation for specific fuels, you don't even need the STC. Buying the STC gives you a flight manual supplement and placards. Lyle has concerns about his oil analysis and how it relates to the way he operates his Cessna 182. After an engine reman his chrome levels were going up, but are now coming down. His mechanic was concerned he was flying too lean because everything on the borescope looked too good. The hosts describe the ideal leaning procedure as this: Don't look at any gauges. Lean it until it starts running a little rough, and enrichen it only until it smooths out, and no more. He also has high silicon levels, which Mike attributes to a carb heat door that isn't sealing fully. Lyle further wonders about his exhaust gas temperatures, which Paul and Colleen remind him are irrelevant. EGTs are only useful for looking at trends, according to Colleen. Mike said it's not a measure of stress on the engine—only a measure of how much energy is being thrown out the exhaust. Dewayne has an exhaust leak in his Tripacer. The two pieces of exhaust come together with a clamp, and a test shows it to be blowing more than bubbling. Paul said you can generally ignore leaks that only bubble, by blowing leaks need to be fixed. He recommends an expander and working very slowly to try and get the two pieces to better match. You can only push it about a thousandth of a inch, Paul said. Rowan asks how to know when a knick or dent in a propeller becomes unsafe to fly. We all check our props before we depart, but few of us have a guide to know whether prop damage is normal or unsafe. Paul said a good rule of thumb is that if you run your fingernail along it and it catches you need to address it. But if it just runs along roughly, but doesn't catch, it's ok to continue. But, that's not an owner-approved repair. Mike said the problem is that they create a stress point. A sharp point at its apex is more worrisome than a rounded dent. Advisory Circular 43-13 Chapter 8 Section 4 gives details for mechanics on how to deal with knicks, and it's actually a pretty generous standard.   Chris can't fly as much he'd like, and he wants to know if he should risk a ground run if the airplane has been sitting but he doesn't have time to fly. Water being a byproduct of combustion, a short flight can be more detrimental to a flight than letting it sit. If the moisture doesn't boil off it only adds more moisture to the engine. Mike said where Chris lives on the Gulf Coast, he would buy a dehydrator. There's no hard and fast rule on how long is too long to go between flights, but the hosts say once every few weeks is fine, and try to keep it to less than a month.

Segraves v. Lycoming County DA

He served for 42 years at Villanova University as the head women's basketball coach, tied for the most seasons at one school at all divisions in the history of NCAA women's college basketball. A private, Catholic school, Villanova saw their women's basketball team record 783 wins during his time as coach, which started when he was just 22 years old -- the youngest coach to ever head a women's varsity program at Villanova. He played his college basketball at Lycoming and went on to become a student assistant coach and coach of the junior varsity team before starting his four-plus decades career with the Wildcats. He also has a strong spiritual connection with someone considered to be arguably the greatest player he coached and whose faith story came to be told nationally.

Mysterious oil in the filter, reporting an owner to the FAA, when to change ELT batteries, and the elusive perfect hot start. This month Mike, Paul, and Colleen handle some of the toughest questions in aircraft ownership. Submit yours to podcasts@aopa.org for a chance to be on the show. Full episode notes: Brian asks how one is to know when the ELT battery runs for more than an hour or has reached 50 percent of its life. FAR 91.207 requires replacement on these conditions. Short answer: you don't. The hosts point out that the batteries can't be load tested and there's no outside monitor to know how long they may have been active. So, if in doubt, replace them. Ryland wants to know if he can install a non-certified engine monitor in his certified airplane. Mike breaks down the decision tree that leads to an answer with an extreme example—installing a refrigerator in your airplane. You must show it meets the same certification requirements the aircraft had to meet. As Mike said, you have to jump through the same hoops that the manufacturer would have had to do had it decided to install one at the factory. First you must decide if it's a major or minor alteration. A major requires approved data, which means getting an FAA field approval. If it's a minor alteration the technician must make the determination that it meets all the applicable certification standards. Most difficult of which is that it doesn't interfere with other systems in the airplane. Most mechanics won't take it upon themselves to do that, he says. Colleen said she has gone through the field approval process and it's quite difficult. Richard wonders if he's damaging his engine by keeping the rpm below 800 on initial startup. He flies a Cessna Skylane with a Continental O-470. The hosts agree that Richard is overthinking this a bit and there's no risk of damage at operating at such a low rpm. Mike said he would use roughness as the lower limit. Justin asks about his responsibility to report an unsafe aircraft to the FAA. After an alarming pre-buy inspection of an airplane he decided not to buy, he's concerned another potential buyer may be at risk. Mike, Paul, and Colleen have strong feelings about this issue. Paul said a pre-buy isn't an annual inspection, and it's the owner's responsibility to ensure airworthiness. This is the only person you should report the findings to, he said. As a follow-up Justin mentions an airplane he was asked to ferry that had a hole in the bottom of the wing. Mike explained the four entities responsible for airworthiness--the factory when the airplane is built, the owner, a mechanic one day a year at the annual, and most critically, the pilot in command. Tim asks aviation's most difficult simple question—how do you consistently hot start a big bore fuel-injected engine? As a CFI his normal advice to clients is to use the technique that works best for you in your airplane. In his Cirrus Paul goes throttle and mixture forward, fuel pump on until the fuel pressure stabilizes, then everything back, throttle cracked, and mixture slowly increased while cranking the starter. He uses this for hot or cold starts. Mike suggests priming and cranking simultaneously. Paul mentions a technique of running the boost pump on high for at least 45 seconds while the mixture and throttle are at idle cut off, and then performing a normal start. This circulates cold fuel in from the tank. Jared is the maintenance officer of a flying club with a Cessna 172M. They've been finding metal in the oil filter that doesn't look like that from normal sources. Lycoming couldn't find it, and neither could the shop that did the overhaul 600 hours prior. The overhaul shop did warranty work, including replacing the crankshaft. It didn't work. Jared had sent in photos and Mike didn't think they looked like crankshaft issues. Paul thinks the oil pump is a strong suspect. But overall the hosts are stumped, and Jared promised to come back later with an update.

Hey all, welcome back! This week we talk about aircraft prices. Some friends are trying to acquire Extras of different flavors and the used market is really tough if you are in the market for a 330SC. Also, looking at buying new airplanes for 2022, the prices increases due to Lycoming and other vendors have pushed Extras officially passed the half million dollar mark, so we talk about it! We also chat about ICAS as it is going on right now. Enjoy!Thanks to LIFT Aviation for supporting the podcast!

Joe predicted 95 days ago that this election would look like 1980, where Jimmy Carter and the Democrats were wiped out behind an unpopular incumbent. Tonight, we'll see if he was right. First, given the chance, will Joe walk his prediction back? Will Election Day turnout really be dominated by Republicans? What states is Joe looking at now that the polls are locked in? Next, Axios reported Trump will declare victory if he looks to be ahead at any point. Joe explains why he's not worried about that, at least from an electoral standpoint. Then, a quick look at the Senate races (including a potential surprise), and Joe's prediction that the Democrats may win big in the Senate. And then, the exact counties Joe will be watching tonight that will have a big hand in dictating what will happen in the election. (List below) Our listener question is about split-ticket voters.

MURDER-SUICIDE IN LYCOMING COUNTY --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/randy-delozier7/message

Again welcome one, welcome all, welcome you sitting there sipping your coffee or just getting out of the shower. I’m Jason Bryant, this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the wrestling scores and more from in and around the world of wrestling. I do have one question though, why are you listening in the shower?  Before I get to the notables and daily news updates, we have three major dual meet events coming up this weekend - the 92 team NWCA National Duals, which its official name would take up an entire show - and the 40th annual Virginia Duals, the tournament that led me to the sport of wrestling and the Budd Whitehill Duals in Pennsylvania. But before we talk about that, here’s what happened Tuesday. In Duals: A pair of Division I duals came in the expanded MAC, where Kent State topped SIUE 25-15. Kent State picked up falls from Colin McCracken and Spencer Berthold at 197 and heavyweight to scream back from a 15-13 deficit with those two bouts to go. In the nightcap, SIUE drove east to Clarion and fell to the Golden Eagles 30-13. Brock Zacherl defeated Tyshawn Williams 3-1 in sudden victory at 149. In Division III, Alma beat Trine 42-9. Olivet beat Adrian 21-12. North Central prepared for the National Duals by blanking Elmhurst 46-0. Ohio Northern beat Mount St. Joseph 27-17 a day after Ohio Northern head coach Ron Beaschler had amazing seats at the Ohio State dual. UW-Platteville topped UW-Eau Claire 24-20 in a match that featured 12 exhibition bouts. This is one awesome thing about Division III. It might be a pain in the ass for the event staff, but this is one of the key ways D3 kids get more mat time, especially the non-starters.  NAIA Thomas More knocked off Division III Muskingum 38-14. Best name of the night goes to Thomas More’s Wilder Wichman, he registered a fall at 3:38 at 157 pounds, one of four falls for the Saints on Tuesday. The fastest, though, went to Zach Dunn, who picked up the six in 12 seconds.  Keeping it NAIA, Graceland beat William Penn, the school, not the actual person, 43-12. Montana State-Northern was at Dickinson State and the Lights came away with a 32-21 win over the Blue Hawks. Notables on the Docket: In Division II, Seton Hill is at Shippensburg, Emmanuel is at Belmont Abbey, for some reason UNC Pembroke is going out to Kansas to take on Fort Hays State while American International will face Division III New England College and Trinity up in Connecticut.  In Division III, Coast Guard is at WPI, McDaniel is at Waynesburg, Hunter is at Scranton and Thiel is at Case Western Reserve. In the NAIA, Briar Cliff hosts Midland, Bethany (Kan.) takes on York (Neb.), while Morningside heads to Jamestown (N.D.). One dual that’s scheduled on the women’s side where St. Mary (Kan.) will face Central Methodist. Now to the Duals Previews. The full NWCA preview here can be found at NWCAonline.com Virginia Duals information at VirginiaDuals.com Lycoming’s Bud Whitehill Duals is also something to keep an eye on with 16 teams from Division III scrapping.  FROM THE DWN: Normally, there isn’t much in the way of hard news that comes out of the wrestling coaches weekly press conferences, especially at Penn State, where much of the information is guarded. Well, every outlet that covers Penn State wrestling on the regular is abuzz - and not in a good way - about the revelation Kyle Conel and Anthony Cassar are done for the year, according to head coach Cael Sanderson. Both have battled injuries their entire career. Shakur Rasheed is expected to go 197 while Sanderson announced Seth Nevills’ will get the go at 285. Link via InterMat, since all the stuff from the Centre Daily Times was paywalled. There is one from the Daily Collegian, though. A few changes in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, most of them coming as a result of Ohio State’s 17-16 win over Arizona State on Monday where stalling might have been called as inconsistently in a dual as I can remember. Yes, I’m rarely critical of officiating publicly, but as I sit back and watch, I can’t help but wonder where some consistency is. I don’t care who wins duals like this - I want to be entertained by the sport I love. I was more pained than anything. By the way, Iowa still your unanimous No. 1. Little Rock features its wrestling twins from St. Louis, Jayden and Jaylen Carson. Jayden’s already got some solid wins this year at 125.  Who is Indiana’s Donnell Washington? Find out with a Q&A from Indiana’s athletic website.  Mount Union’s Jordin James was named a finalist for the Greater Cleveland Male Collegiate Athlete of the Year Award. That’ll be presented in two weeks. James was just the school’s third wrestler in school history to win an individual national title when he claimed the 133-pound title last year in Roanoke, Virginia.  Matt Lindland’s January Camp report is up and out on FivePointMove.com, where there really aren’t participation trophies.  Tony Rotundo makes a written appearance on the Home Mat Advantage with his thoughts about the rugged Doc Buchanan tournament in California.  And finally, we’ve got another new wrestling program coming to the Southeast as Montreat College, an NAIA school in North Carolina, announced it would be adding wrestling. That came by their desks on Monday, but since I didn’t know where the school was, or how yet to say it, it didn’t make the news. There were 35 new teams announced in 2019, Montreat is the first of 2020. On The Network On The Mat does a Year in Review with is absolutely worth your time.

  This is the first edition of the Short Time Shots where I’m actually recording from the Speakeasy Studio in wonderfully chilly New Brighton, Minnesota. Let’s first be clear, there’s nothing wonderful about being chilly. That was sarcasm. Now, I’ve got a sit-stand desk that I’m working on improving my mobility around the house, because I cannot sit in this stupid chair for 12 hours a day and expect anything good to come of it. Secondly, my desk is no longer in the corner of my bedroom, meaning I can actually walk around to my side of the bed. For five months, that was not possible. Now I’ve still got some things to do to complete it - mainly build the bar and put the rest of the stuff on the walls to complete the sound treatment, but all in all, I’m VERY happy with it so far. I’m also recording this for Facebook Live, just to see how things work on OBS, which is pretty cool.  Minnesota Beer of the Night: Black Ale from Bent Paddle Brewing in Duluth. Six percent. Dark and delicious. By the way, I’m on untappd at jasonbryant12. New Patron: Kevin McGuigan jumps on board. He’s been following and listening for a while as well as he also sent me a shirt for the long lost #WrestlingShirtADay that I did in 2018. No, I’m never doing it again, by the way.  Dual Meets:  Down in Carolina - North Carolina - Belmont Abbey used four falls to power past first-year Mount Olive 34-19 in Division II action. Greg Hilliard registered the fastest fall of the night, picking up six in 34 seconds at 165 pounds. Kenn Caudell’s squad - they’re the Crusaders.  In Division III, Cortland State went 3-0 as the Red Dragons beat Pitt-Bradford 35-18, King’s College 33-13 and host Lycoming 19-18. Lycoming beat Pitt-Bradford 42-18 and King’s 44-10. Pitt-Bradford beat King’s 22-16.  Notables on the Docket: Notre Dame College heads to take on the new program at Fairmont State, while NAIA Southern Oregon heads down the coast to take on San Francisco State, coached by three-time Northwestern All-American Jason Welch.  In Division III, Huntingdon, that’s in Alabama in case you were wondering, hosts a pair of NAIA schools, Life and Thomas More.  In the NAIA, Missouri Valley host the MVC Duals in Marshall. Teams expected to compete there are Baker, Williams Baptist, Bethany, Campbellsville, Ottawa, Waldorf, St. Mary, William Penn, Lincoln, Rochester (Mich.) and of course, the host Vikings of Mo. Val.  FROM THE DWN: In a joint release, USA Wrestling, the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Coalition and Adrian College announced the first Cliff Keen National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships will be held in Adrian, Michigan on March 6-7, 2020. This event will give the NCAA-branded schools an opportunity to compete in the postseason. There’s already an NAIA invitational, but what this means for the longstanding WCWA remains to be seen. I know I’ve got some major plans for women’s wrestling in the future.  Brown and Harvard announced they were partnering to create the New England Regional Training Center and they’ve hired Mike Eierman to be the head coach. Eierman, at least as of last week, was the head wrestling coach at Division III Westminster College in Missouri.  Over the weekend, Fresno City College won its fourth straight California Community College state championship, outdistancing second-place Cerritos 186-137. The Rams, coached by 1991 NCAA champion Paul Keysaw, had four champions. One notable came from Skyline College, which is in San Bruno, just south of San Francisco. Sophomore Stephen Martin became Skyline’s first state champion in 19 years. The San Mateo Daily Journal breaks that down. Over the weekend, it was announced that Eastern Gateway Community College in Steubenville, Ohio will be adding a varsity wrestling program. The school had baseball already and will also add women’s volleyball. Dom Mancini, a longtime high school coach at Boardman High School has been named the Gators first head coach. That’s 241 new college programs - men and women - since 2000.  NC State hired a new director of operations, appointing Ian Assael to the role after the departure of Melissa Simmons. Normally, I don’t draw attention to Director of Ops positions in the newsletter or Shots, but I wanted to give Melissa a solid salute and a verbal high five here. There are few people I’ve met in the sport of wrestling who are as complete and as dedicated as Melissa Simmons. She’s also got an innate ability to do good things for people. When my daughter Lucy was in the hospital a couple of years ago - I’m not sure which time since Lucy’s had a lot of these types of things - Melissa sent a gift package for Lucy that included a stuffed mascot, one that Lucy still pals around with today. It fits well with her Lion King collection. Tuffy plays the role as one of the hyenas, since according to my daughter, they’re both dogs. Melissa is moving out of wrestling, which sucks for us. I worked with her when she interned at USA Wrestling and with a client-vendor relationship with the NC State #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast. No one paid faster and no one has been more complete and consistent than Melissa with NC State. Good luck and we hope to see you around soon. Your work has always been above and beyond, even when going to pick up subs in Colorado Springs.  WSAW in Wausau, Wisconsin features the women’s program at UW-Stevens Point. Joe Tuscano of the Observer-Reporter, a finalist for NWMA Journalist of the Year last year, pens a column about the new rule in Pennsylvania allowing more than one wrestler from a team to appear in bracketed tournaments around the state. Not sure why PA was late to the party on this. When I was wrestling, sometimes we’d be in 32-team tournaments and we’d get two or even three guys in a weight - only one would score, though.   On The Network Nothing new today.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

Sometimes you have to pivot. I had every intention of putting together another episode of The Guillotine Grapevine here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, but sometimes things don’t go as planned, as you’re about to find out. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant.  Dual Meets:  The biggest upset of the night and one of the bigger upsets in the past several years saw unranked Rider come into Williams Arena in Minneapolis and knock off No. 6 Minnesota 21-17. The key wins came from Jonathan Tropea at 125 pounds and Dean Sherry at 174 pounds. Sherry pinned All-American Devin Skatzka in one of the most exciting three minutes of wrestling. Instead of talking you through it, I talked with Rider coach John Hangey about the match and its impact on the Rider program. Rider’s Ryan Cloud won an absolutely not thrilling bout 1-0 at 285 over Bobby Steveson to lock up the win for the Broncs. (Hangey Interview) In other Top 25 action, No. 3 Ohio State won six out of 10 at No. 15 Pittsburgh, but it was bonus points that blew the match open for coach Tom Ryan’s Buckeyes. Ohio State prevailed 23-12. Kollin Moore opened the dual with a major at 197, Chase Singletary scored a mild upset over Demetrius Thomas at heavyweight, Luke Pletcher, no, that’s not a typo, got a major at 141 pounds over Cole Matthews, while Sammy Sasso picked up a fall at 149 pounds. The Buckeyes return home to face No. 11 Virginia Tech on Sunday.  In Philadelphia, No. 4 Oklahoma State won eight out of 10 bouts to open its dual season with a 30-6 win over Drexel. Cowboy 165-pounder Travis Wittlake knocked off Ebed Jarrell 5-1. John Smith also tied Bobby Douglas for fifth on the all-time collegiate dual wins list with his 427th victory.  No. 8 Arizona State won its home opener 35-6 over Division II Augustana (S.D.). We’ll save the story of that dual for what’s in the Daily Wrestling Newsletter.  No. 9 NC State always seems to get a fight from ODU and Friday was no different. The Wolfpack would prevail 22-11 after getting a huge fall at 197 pounds from Tyrie Houghton to go along with ranked wins by top-ranked Hayden Hidlay at 157 over Larry Early and Tariq Wilson’s 3-2 win over Sa’Derian Perry at 141.  Elsewhere in Division I, Northern Illinois beat Bucknell 24-10, Binghamton beat South Dakota State 25-16, Oregon State beat Division II Simon Fraser 40-8 in Tahoma, Washington. I deliberately didn’t post this until Fresno State and Rutgers were finished. Rutgers won 23-13. Did Fresno State set their school’s attendance record? No, but they still drew a solid 3,500-plus. Division II Coker beat NAIA St. Andrews 45-8. In Division III No. 1 Wabash shut out Manchester 45-0, No. 15 Ithaca topped Stevens Institute 29-12, Williams beat Trinity 28-18, Lycoming beat Thiel 40-6 and smashed NJCAA Jamestown (N.Y.) 51-3. Thiel beat Jamestown 44-6. In the NAIA, Concordia (Neb.) beat Northwestern (Iowa) 29-10 and Southern Oregon beat Warner Pacific 36-16. Campbellsville swept a quad at Embry-Riddle. The Tigers beat Arizona Christian 32-6, host Embry-Riddle 33-9 and Vanguard 43-3. So two wins over first-year teams. Play nice Franky James!  In junior college action, Minnesota West beat Northland Tech 36-21.  Late Thursday: Fresno City beat Bakersfield 42-6, while Modesto beat Skyline and West Hills. Central Baptist beat Oklahoma Wesleyan 24-22.  Tournaments In Bristol, Rhode Island, Johnson & Wales is out to an early Day 1 lead at the Roger Williams Invitational. Following the Wildcats are Castleton, TCNJ, NYU and host Roger Williams.  International Wrestling Day 1 of the Bill Farrell came and went as the most important aspect was athletes qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in April in State College. In Greco, five Americans won titles - Ryan Mango at 60kg, Alex Sancho at 67kg, Alan Vera at 87kg, G’Angelo Hancock at 97kg and Adam Coon at 130kg. Also qualifying was Sammy Jones at 60kg and Spencer Woods at 77kg. In women’s freestyle competition at the Bill Farrell, Victoria Anthony beat Erin Golston to win gold at 50kg. Golston qualified for the Trials by being the highest placing American who wasn’t already qualified. Areana Villaescusa and Alex Glaude also qualified. Of note at 76kg, Erica Wiebe of Canada, the 2016 Olympic champion, beat 2014 world silver medalist Aline da Silva of Brazil 4-0 for gold.  Women’s World Cup in Narita, Japan kicked off. The U.S. was wrestling Russia at the time this show was being recorded.

This story will be dated by the time you hear this, but it’s still worth the read. Rozell wrestled at 197 on Friday night, getting pinned in ASU’s only loss of the evening. But still.  We’ve got an abundance of international stars competing at the Bill Farrell, so here’s a few to keep an eye on, courtesy of TheMat.com.  Speaking of TheMat.com, Taylor Miller of USA Wrestling writes a pretty solid feature on Anthony Echemendia. Did you know he turned 19 in a detention center while trying to get to the United States? Good job T-Millz on that piece.  The RUDIS Podcast, The Way, with Cary Kolat and Matt Dernlan go into college officiating. This … should be interesting.  The Mid-American Conference released its November coaches rankings at GetSomeMaction.com. Missouri still No. 1, followed by Old Dominion, Lock Haven, Rider and Clarion.  Cronkite News, a program produced by students at the amazing journalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State, features Marlee Smith, the only woman on the wrestling team at Arizona State. Zeke Jones has women and combat vets on the roster. That’s dynamic.  On The Network The 10th installment of #ROCKedUP, the story about the foundation and formation of the wrestling program at Little Rock has been posted. When you look at the entirety of the situation, it’s probably one of the most unique stories ever told in wrestling.

Monday, the worst day of the week if you’re a college wrestling fan. I believe each year, there are less than 10 total dual meets across all divisions on Mondays. In a sense, wrestling Mondays give you a case of the Mondays, and I do believe you’d get your ass kicked for saying something like that. Pack up your red staplers and burn down the building, this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s wrestling scores and more from around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. And while I’m getting you reacquainted with the show or if I’m introducing you do it, I’ll typically do these on days where there’s at least 10 duals around the country. One of the podcast newsletters I subscribe to, James Cridland’s Podnews, does a weekday show and they’re about two minutes long. I did Shots long before that show launched, but in days where there isn’t scores, might as well tell you what’s in the newsletter so I can entice you to sign up for it – it’s free – and pitch a plug for this network, since I’d rather strip out the pre-roll ads here if I can get enough support for the program. That’s a hint. And no, the regular Short Time hasn’t gone away, but this was the format the show started with and my enterprise features will be sprinkled in a few times a month. That feed still exists, a Shots-only feed exists, and if you’re a glutton for punishment, the main Mat Talk feed exists and that literally feeds you with in excess of 30 shows a month. So here’s the items you’ll be reading about. From the DWN:   Shannon Scovel from NCAA.com breaks down what we learned from the U23 World Championships and how it will impact this year’s college wrestling season. Shannon’s been writing some solid stuff for NCAA.com the last two years. She was a swimmer at American U. during her college years and is worth reading. In recruiting news from IAwrestle, Colorado state champion Cam Lucero has committed to Iowa. The junior at Pagosa Springs was a state champion at 145 pounds last season. West Virginia will have an unofficial girls state wrestling tournament in February at Parkersburg High School to gauge interest in girls wrestling. The full story via Jessica Wilt at The Journal. Speaking of Parkersburg, congrats to Kyle Bratke and his wife Olivia on the arrival of their first born, Hayden. I’ll send you a Diaper Genie. com profiles several of the state’s native wrestling sons on the roster at North Dakota State University. The Centre Daily Times in State College and Lauren Muthler tells wrestling fans what they should expect from Penn State’s 2019-20 college wrestling season. Baldwin Wallace’s Stanley Bleich was the Ohio Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he won the Ithaca Invitational and was named the tournament’s OW in the process. Paul Santomarco of Lycoming had three falls at the Lycoming Invitational and was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestler of the Week. Not trying to make fun of the young man, but I couldn’t help but think about Three Amigos and the small village of Santo Poco. Just don’t shoot the invisible swordsman. Joining Santomarco with MAC honors was Chase Smith of the first-year program at Alvernia. He too was 3-0 with three falls at the Lycoming Invitational at 174 pounds. Wisconsin native Tres Leon from the University of the Cumberlands was the Mid-South Conference Wrestler of the Week. The All-American went 5-0 and pinned Bluefield’s Creed Lumpp in the finals at 157 pounds. Nolan Saxton of Reinhardt was the Appalachian Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he defeated Division II’s fourth-ranked Kevin Almond of Emmanuel last week. In what used to be the Iowa Conference, Nebraska Wesleyan’s Eron Haynes was the American Rivers Conference Wrestler of the Week after winning the Yellowjacket Open down in Rochester, Minnesota. He was the school’s first All-American when he placed last year in Roanoke. They’re coached by Brandon Bradley, a past Virginia state runner-up from Henrico. Yup, Virginia references, they’re everywhere. Finally, wrestling fan Ted Carreras writes a blog called Hand Raised. He does weekly columns with his thoughts on wrestling. These are reminiscent of things I’ve written for InterMat, Wrestling 411, TheMat and basically any other wrestling job I’ve had the last 20 years. Ted, this is good stuff, so I’m including it in today’s newsletter and Shots.   On The Network: Episode 9 of my groundbreaking, earth-shattering, monumental, award-nominated #ROCKedUp podcast chronicling the foundation and formation of the new wrestling program at Arkansas-Little Rock has dropped. This episode talks with head coach Neil Erisman and U. of the Ozarks head coach LeRoy Gardner about scheduling in year one and how the two schools came together to schedule Little Rock’s first home dual on November 24. All those things I said in the beginning are true. It’s probably the reason I’m spitting out less formulated interview shows and taking a more creative look into the storytelling aspect of wrestling. Seriously. In the Game of Throws fantasy football league, here are the SAFE FOR WORK team scores we can report: The Lorath Bay Buccanneers beat Never Go Full Eli 82-79. Kuhsti Kings beat Straight Cash Homie 76-66, Team Payne beat A Gurley Has No Name 131-91 and Teet Brand Giants Milk beat Game of Jones 108-72. The other two games were not reported due to team names befitting of fantasy football, but not a wrestling podcast. All scores unofficial until Tuesday, which Richard Immel knows all too well.

It’s Short Time Shots for November 2, 2019. In Duals: Fueled by victories from B.C. LaPrade at 157 pounds and Hunter Bolen at 184 pounds, No. 16 Virginia Tech picked up its first win in school history over Missouri, beating the No. 9 Tigers 29-10 in Blacksburg. The Hokies won the last four matches of the dual, which included a forfeit at 133 and a 26-second fall by Mitch Moore at 141 pounds to close out the win. 24 Virginia went 2-0, beating Maryland 34-6 and Division III Southern Virginia 50-3. Maryland picked up the first win of the Alex Clemsen era with a win over Southern Virginia 42-6. Of note for people back home, Patrick McCormick from Poquoson, Virginia - that’s my hometown - registered a forfeit W at 125 against Southern Virginia. It’s my show, I’ll mention irrelevant forfeit wins by kids from my hometown if I want. Rutgers opened up the season with three wins, picking up a win over newly branded Division I LIU 43-3, the top-ranked team in Division II, Pitt-Johnstown, 22-9 and Division III Centenary 38-6. Edinboro opened up year two of the Matt Hill era with three wins, two over non-Division I foes Mercyhurst North East and Ashland and its first MAC win over new conference mate Kent State. In the 29-6 win over Kent State, the top win there was Jacob Oliver’s pin over Andrew McNally at 174 pounds. As SID Bob Shreve wrote, Edinboro eclipsed last year’s win total in one day. While listed as an exhibition, it’s a notable that the revived wrestling program at Division II Fairmont State in West Virginia picked up a win over Garrett Community College of Maryland 30-22 on Saturday. It’s the second win in as many days for a new or reinstated program in the state. On Friday, Davis & Elkins opened with a win. In Division III, Messiah won its Messiah Invitational with four champions - Josiah Gehr at 133, Garrett Cornell at 141, Nick Barnhardt at 149 and Stephen Maloney at 157 pounds. Messiah outdistanced second-place Ursinus5 to 81. Up in Ithaca, Johnson & Wales took home top honors as three Wildcats won titles - Hayden Brown at 133, Gabriel McDaniel at 141 and Da’mani Burns at 149. Baldwin Wallace was second and picked up a pair of champions - Stanley Bleich at 157 and Zeckary Lehman at 197. Host Ithaca was third and also had three champs. Keeping it Division III, Millikin’s Big Blue beat Elmhurst 29-18 Mixing things up, we have LeRoy Gardner’s University of the Ozarks of Division III picking up a 41-10 win over NAIA Lyon College in a battle of Arkansas schools. Out West, North Idaho of the NJCAA beat NAIA’s Eastern Oregon 26-19. Keeping with the NAIA, Oklahoma City, coached by Olympian Sam Hazewinkel, blanked Oklahoma Wesleyan 55-0. In Tournaments: Michigan State Open: Ohio State’s Sammy Sasso make his official college debut one to remember as he trounced the field in East Lansing. Sasso had three falls and two technical falls - including a tech over Michigan’s Kanen Storr in the finals. Sasso also decked Purdue’s Nate Limmex in the quarters. Purdue’s Kendall Coleman probably had the biggest breakout performance of the tournament, winning the title at 157 pounds. Among Coleman’s wins were Eric Barone of Illinois, Will Lewan of Michigan, Zac Carson of Ohio and Anthony Artalona of Penn - All known commodities in college wrestling. At 197, Ohio State’s Kollin Moore edged Oklahoma’s Jake Woodley 6-4 in sudden victory, while Michigan’s Mason Parris topped Central Michigan’s Matt Stencel 9-2 in the finals at 285. Cowboy Open: Probably the most notable result came at 133 pounds where true freshman Theorius Robison of Northern Colorado beat Wyoming All-American Montorie Bridges 3-2. Now, the craziest thing to me is what I’m about to tell you. Ben VomBaur wrestled collegiately at Boise State, where he was a two-time All-American. He won the Cowboy Open, according to his Facebook page in 2001 and 2002. He finished tied for third - due to the match limit rule - at 133 pounds doing the old man entering the tournament thing. Only, he wasn’t. Ben entered the tournament with Will VomBaur, who attends the Air Force’s Prep School and Vance VomBaur, a high school junior out of Windsor, Colorado. Will didn’t place in the Amateur Division at 125, but Vance won it at 133 in the same age bracket, which is typically for college freshmen and sophomores. Yeah, those are Ben’s kids! He wrestled in a college open with his kids. Holy crap, that’s cool. I met Ben a long time ago at the U.S. World Team Trials in 2005 in Ames. Late Friday: The Battle on the Midway did conclude after the first Short Time Shots of the season was released. Army West Point beat Fresno State 29-9 to conclude the kickoff of the season out in San Diego. In Arkansas, Williams Baptist blanked Central Baptist 48-6. What's on the docket: We’ve got open tournaments at Princeton, Clarion, near Virginia Tech in Roanoke at the Southeast Open and the first Battle at The Citadel, appropriately, at The Citadel. Menlo hosts the Menlo Open, Lycoming’s hosting an invitational, CSU Bakersfield closes out its upper midwest run as Manny Rivera stops at North Dakota State, a spot he used to coach. Down south, Emmanuel faces Reinhardt, which started the year ranked No. 2 in the NAIA. What up Jeff Bedard! Placing Top Six (From The Newsletter): Tim Hands over at FivePointMove.com has all the Greco-Roman coverage you can handle, but if you’re a fan of Greco, you might not be able to stomach some of the stuff coming from Budapest, as it was yet another disappointing day for Greco as the U.S. got shut out of medal contention. Timmy has all the breakdowns, as well as a story on the U15 trip out to Europe as well. Clay Cunningham of the Bakersfield Californian pens a pretty solid story on CSU Bakersfield 133-pounder Chance Rich heading into the Runners’ dual on Sunday against North Dakota State. From my buddy Mike Catullo out in Pennsylvania, who tipped me off to one of his wrestlers needing a heart transplant. The York Daily Record did a story on the launch of the GoFundMe. You can read about it in the newsletter. Mike was a former assistant at Franklin & Marshall, Millersville and Maryland before moving back to PA to coach and teach at Red Lion High School. This is the same school that hosted Lock Haven vs. Arizona State last year. When you think wrestling news, you think the Morrison County Record in Minnesota. Well, if you’re a Pierz wrestling fan, yes, that’s spelled P-I-E-R-Z, then you know that’s the most trusted name in news. In all seriousness, I love stories from local media promoting longtime coaches, so that’s why we have included the story of Mark Jensen’s upcoming induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame’s Minnesota chapter. From Eric Knopsnyder of the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown, Pennsylvania - yup, one of the guys from PA Power Wrestling: Bo Bassett, who I recently saw win the Preseason Nationals in Iowa, is a finalist for Sports Illustrated Kids SportsKid of the Year. He’s a seventh grader at Forest Hills Middle School in Sidman, which is just outside Johnstown. I’m pretty sure that VomBaur story is going to get some traction nationally once people hear about it.

Appellant Mark Kedrowski was the pilot of a single-engine airplane that crashed shortly after takeoff. Kedrowski, who was severely injured in the crash, sued respondent Lycoming Engines, alleging that the airplane’s engine lost power and caused the crash. The case proceeded to a jury trial, and the jury awarded Kedrowski over $27 million in damages. Lycoming made a post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law, renewing arguments previously made that the causation opinion of Kedrowski’s expert lacked foundational reliability and that Kedrowski was unable to establish causation. The district court granted judgment as a matter of law, and the court of appeals affirmed. On appeal to the supreme court, the issues presented are: (1) whether the district court abused its discretion in evaluating foundation for the expert opinion; and (2) whether the district court’s post-trial decision to exclude the causation opinion was fundamentally unfair. (Ramsey County)

Just a few pros and cons of Lycoming college

If you recently listened to the episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast where Kyle Klingman and I talked about our experiences 10 years ago with the Wrestling 411 project, you’ll know that year, I totaled my car and had to buy a new one. Well, it’s almost fitting that we put a bow on that year in an episode and my trusty 2008 Chevy Trailblazer finally got retired. My wife and I said the last time we got the car out of the shop - which happened to be in Iowa City prior to the World Cup - that this was the last repair. Anything else, and we’d get a new car. Sure enough, the driver’s side window went on the blink and with winter the way it is, that was the final straw. And no, we are NOT minivan folk. So rather than sit and watch wrestling on Saturday, I listened to ODU close out Foreman Field with a football victory and watched updates on Twitter - I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, an update for you, the wrestling fan, on the pertinent happenings in and around college wrestling for November 17. This day was actually pretty loaded when you look at it. There were 84 dual meets and over a dozen tournaments across all divisions - and that’s also exactly what this program covers - all divisions. If you do the math, there’s approximately 450 varsity college wrestling teams in this country. Division I accounts for 75 of those and it goes to 77 next year. That’s 17 percent of college wrestling. This show talks about that 17 percent and as much as the other 83 percent as possible. So enough with the car buying and the statistical pleasantries, let’s get to the upsets! Why are we starting with upsets? Because there were two of them on Saturday, the first seeing No. 24 North Carolina head to the valley of the sun and knock off No. 8 Arizona State in Tempe. The Tar Heels benefitted from a major decision at 141 pounds by Jaime Hernandez and a fall from Devin Kane at 174 and a rare brother vs. brother matchup at 285 pounds. In case you’re wondering, returning national champion Zahid Valenica of Arizona State bumped up to 184 and beat All-American Chip Ness 9-6. That bump opened the door open for Kane to pin Jacen Petersen in the third period. With Carolina leading 16-15, Cory Daniel bested his younger brother Brady Daniel 12-3 to cement the upset for Coleman Scott’s squad. The other big upset on the day saw unranked Pitt pick up falls from Micky Phillipi and Taleb Rahmani as the Panthers from Pittsburgh knocked off the 14th-ranked Panthers of Northern Iowa 21-19. UNI led 19-15 heading into the final two bouts, but a pair of transfers - Kellan Stout and Demetrius Thomas - both picked up six-point decisions to give Keith Gavin his biggest win of his coaching career. Thomas, an NAIA national champion as a freshman and a runner-up a year ago, beat UNI’s Carter Isley 9-3 to make it a final. In Brookings, South Dakota, over 1,800 people were a bit let down as Seth Gross didn’t weigh-in, denying the much anticipated Gross vs. Daton Fix match from happening. The dual, however, wasn’t even much of a consideration as No. 4 Oklahoma State smashed host South Dakota State 45-6. The only Cowboy loss was an injury default at 149 pounds by Boo Lewallen. No. 8 NC State won three duals at the Wolfpack Duals, topping Davidson 47-6 and then picking up wins over Division II UNC Pembroke 40-0 and NAIA Reinhardt 35-6. The rest of the Pack gets to the mats on Sunday at the Wolfpack Wrestling Club Open in Raleigh. Trailing 15-14 with just one bout to go, No. 9 Cornell needed All-American Max Dean to deliver a victory. He did that, but did it with some flare as Dean pinned Jackson Moomau in the first period to lift the Big Red past visiting West Virginia 20-15. West Virginia jumped out to a 9-0 lead after picking up wins at 197, 285 and 125. Noah Adams had the duals’ most notable win, a 13-7 win over nationally ranked Ben Honis of Cornell. We also saw Vito Arujau wrestling at 133 and Chaz Tucker up at 141 for the Big Red. Hrmmmm. No. 21 Utah Valley swept a trio of duals as the Wolverines improved to 5-1 with wins over Northern Illinois, Clarion and Harper College. What was one of the most interesting, and perhaps unusual things of this quad at Northern Illinois was the three matches lost by Harper College, which is a junior college in Illinois, were by identical 44-3 scores - and it wasn’t the same winner. Hrm. There were a ton of duals in the world of Division III with Roanoke, Virginia hosting the Southeast Duals. Mount Union, which was fresh off its big win over Baldwin Wallace this week, went 4-0 with a 32-15 win over Messiah, a 33-14 win over Lycoming and a pair of shutouts, 54-0 over Huntingdon and 51-0 over Penn College. Wilkes also went 4-0, beating Averett 27-12, Bluefield 51-0, Greensboro 33-10 and Otterbein 30-21. Central College - they’re the Dutch and coached by a guy named Van Kley - fitting I know - went out to Muhlenberg in Pennsylvania and won five duals to come away with the title at the Scotty Woods Duals. Central beat host Muhlenberg 36-6, Washington & Jefferson 42-11 and Keystone 54-3 as well as two shutout wins over a pair of junior colleges. Olivet swept the Comet Duals, going 4-0 with wins over Manchester, Millikin, Cornell College and Mt. St. Joseph. Individually, Manchester’s JaVon Phillips was most impressive, pinning all four of his opponents on the day at 157 pounds. Up in New England, Matt Oney picked up his first win as the new head coach at WPI as the Engineers, yeah, go figure a Polytechnic school would be called the Engineers, beat Castleton 31-19. What was most notable though at the WPI duals was No. 14 Roger Williams picking off No. 24 Stevens Tech 24-18. Anthony Malfitano’s pin at 197 pounds was the back-breaker, giving the Hawks the win. We did have some tournament action to tackle with the Navy Classic taking place in Annapolis. Michigan State had two champions and nine placewinners overall to capture the team title with 126 points. Indiana was second with 95.5, followed by Navy and Old Dominion. Six different teams had champions, as Michigan State was led by individual champions RayVon Foley at 125 pounds and Cameron Caffey at 184. Foley beat Ohio’s Shakur Laney 7-4, while Caffey beat Old Dominion’s Antonio Agee 12-6. Navy had two champs - Casey Cobb at 133 and Nicholas Gil at 141. Gil beat All-American Sa’Derian Perry 7-6. Other champions were Josh Heil of Campbell at 149, Larry Early of ODU at 157, Jonathan Viruet of Brown at 165, Andrew Morgan of Campbell at 174, Jake Kleimola of Indiana at 197 and Zack Parker of Ohio at 285. Host Springfield won the Doug Parker Invitational, placing seven and outdistancing second-place Centenary 111.5 to 102.5. Nine different teams had champions with Springfield’s Ryan Peters at 141 and heavyweight Joe Fusco picking up titles for the Pride. Some notables from the opens around the country: At Lindenwood Ohio State’s Malik Heinselman edged Iowa State’s Alex Mackall 11-10 to take top honors at 125 pounds. Iowa State’s Austin Gomez reportedly stormed back from a big deficit to claim a 15-13 win over Danny Swan of Division II Lindenwood in the finals at 133. Iowa’s Vince Turk beat Iowa State’s Ian Parker 6-5 at 141. Iowa’s Nelson Brands won at 165, beating former Hawkeye Joey Gunther in the semifinals on his way to the title. NAIA national champion Lucas Lovvorn of Baker won the title at 174. Among his notable wins was a 5-4 win over Iowa State’s Marcus Coleman in the semifinals. Illinois’ Emery Parker and Iowa State’s Willie Miklus won titles at 184 and 197, respectively, while Iowa freshman Anthony Cassioppi had three falls and a major on his way to a heavyweight crown. Also of note, Oklahoma State freshman Travis Wittlake won five matches to claim gold at 174 pounds in the freshman/sophomore division … All these results and even the stuff I didn’t mention is available at the nation’s most comprehensive college wrestling results and schedule page at almanac.mattalkonline.com or just click the scoreboard link on the main page of Mat Talk Online.

The season is kind of, sort of, possibly underway in Division III. With the earlier start being decided less than ten months prior, not every program was able to take advantage of the new date. There are still teams who haven't tipped off their seasons while others have already played two or three games this season. That doesn't mean we can't find topics to talk about on Hoopsville! Sunday, Dave is back live in studio with plenty of DIII conversation. Plus coaches talk about (high) expectations and being in charge of a program for the first time. Can St. Thomas women take the next step as a program? How will MIT's season be engineered? And from All-American to head coach, what it's like to take over a program for the first time. Plus, the winningest men's coach in Division III history will not start the season on the bench. More on what has lead Glenn Robinson to take a medical leave of absence. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Guests Schedule: - Larry Anderson, No. 5 MIT men's coach - Ruth Sinn, No. 5 St. Thomas women's head coach - Mike McGarvey, Lycoming men's coach

The holidays brought us many presents in Division III basketball. From upsets to impressive performances, many teams made an impression. As a result, there is plenty to recap as Hoopsville returns to the air after the holiday break. Join Dave as he talks to guests around the country and recaps an incredible few weeks - or tries to recap. From an assistant coach who made a life saving decision, a women's coach who has been fighting cancer without missing time with his team, to coaches around the country who have teams that have many wondering ... just how good are they? With the midseason return of Hoopsville comes with it some of the more structured aspects of the show. For starters, Thursday nights are dedicated primarily to the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and West Regions for guests. Tonight also sees the season debut of the "WBCA Center Court" which is a segment that allows viewers to learn more about coaches and what they are involved in outside of basketball.

Fantasy football sucks the life out of me. It really does. This is Short Time Shots for Sunday, November 19, 2017 and let’s just say, I’m having more success starting guys like Case Keenum than I am “fantasy studs.” I’m also recording these in one take. If I flub, I flub. Who am I? Hall of Fame announcer Jason Bryant, that’s who! Very limited schedule across the country on this, the Sunday before Thanksgiving here in the United States, but the five Division I duals we saw all involved ranked teams. The question is, where do we start? We had two top 10 duals … ah, let’s start with the upset. And by upset, we mean No. 10 Lehigh pasting No. 4 Michigan at Grace Hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 27-8. On paper, people believed this Michigan team could make a run at the NCAA title. I even mentioned to Richard Immel on Bonus Points on Friday that Michigan could take some dual losses and still come out as a threat. On Sunday, Lehigh wasn’t impressed by the credentials, the hype or the ranking as Pat Santoro’s 10th-ranked Mountain Hawks scored sizable wins from Ian Brown at 157, Jordan Kutler at 174 and Ryan “The Preisch is Right” at 184. At this rate, it’s doubtful anyone’s going to drop a weight, especially Preisch, who topped Domenic Abounader 3-1 at 184 and Kutler, who topped All-American Alec Pantaleo at 157. Scotty Parker using that RP Norley Pennridge strength registered another fall, although it was over Michigan backup Michael Volyanyuk. In Stillwater, we were expecting a tight dual with third-ranked Oklahoma State and sixth-ranked Minnesota. A bunch of matches were tight, but the dual score wasn’t. The Cowboys gave coach John Smith his 400th career dual victory with a 30-3 beatdown of the Golden Gophers. The Cowboys won five matches decided by two points or less. Minnesota’s lone bright spot came at 125 where returning NCAA finalist Ethan Lizak rallied to beat Nick Piccininni 10-9. Piccininni built an 8-1 lead at the end of the first period before Lizak chose top and scored six nearfall points in two different sequences. In the third, Piccininni chose neutral and gave up the go-ahead takedown. A riding time point would be the final difference maker. The rest of the dual -- uffda. Kaid Brock scored four takedowns to beat Mitch McKee 9-7 in a bout that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Dean Heil needed a third-period takedown to do Dean Heil types of things and beat Tommy Thorn 3-1. No. 9 Virginia Tech looked strong to quite strong in a maroon battle against Central Michigan. The Hokies won eight out of 10 and too both head-to-head ranked matchups to earn the win in Cassell Coliseum. At 149, Solomon Chishko topped Justin Oliver 3-1 in a matchup of past All-Americans while Zack Zavatsky topped Jordan Ellingwood 7-4 at 184. For the second straight time, B.C. “The Headache Powder” LaPrade makes the show. He upset Collin Heffernan 3-1 in sudden victory. Being a Poquoson grad, I can’t give the New Kent guy TOO much pub. Arizona State took center stage, LITERALLY, as the Sun Devils hosted a theater-style dual against No. 25 Pittsburgh. The end result was more tragedy for the Panthers than it was comedy as the Sun Devils won eight of 10 bouts to cruise to a 32-6 win. Coach Zeke “My real name is Larry” Jones saw his team win both of the notable matches as Josh Shields beat Taleb Rahmani at 157 and Tanner Hall beat Ryan Solomon in one of those thrilling escape-riding time 2-0 wins. No. 13 Northern Iowa rebounded from Friday’s loss to win its first Big 12 dual with a 21-19 win over North Dakota State in Cedar Falls. At 141, Josh Alber scored the match-winning individual victory with a technical fall in the final match of the dual. Penn State crowned seven champs at the Keystone Classic at The Palestra hosted by Penn (singular). Zain Retherford won his 100th career bout during the course of the event, while Jason Nolf pinned his way through at 157 pounds. Bo Nickal scored three falls and a tech en route to the title at 184. Other Penn State champs were Jered Cortez at 141, Anthony Cassar at 197, Nick Nevills at heavyweight and Mark Hall at 174, who went fall, fall, tech tech, fall. Kinda like that whole duck-duck-grey duck thing they do out here. I still think it’s duck-duck-goose. Cornell won the New York State Intercollegiate championships, there wasn’t a whole lot of comp to challenge the Big Red this year. Lock Haven won four titles at the Black Knight Invitational at Army West Point -- yes, you kind of have to say the whole “Army West Point” thing now. Something about branding. The Bald Eagles got golds form Kyle Shoop-Shoop-ay-Doop, Chance Marsteller and a pair of Solanco Mules -- Ronnie Perry and Thomas Haines. Lancaster-Lebanon League representing the 717 there. NC State won five titles at the Wolfpack open. Yup. They hosted. Wisconsin won five titles out west at the Roadrunner Open hosted by CSU Bakersfield. Top win there was probably Ricky Robertson’s 3-1 overtime win over Emery Parker of Illinois. In Division III, John Carroll swept the John Carroll duals, earning wins over Case Western Reserve, Penn State Behrend, Lycoming, Alfred State and Lourdes. Gettysburg won three matches at the Green Terror Duals in Westminster, Maryland. Yes, the Green Terror is the nickname of McDaniel College, formerly known as Western Maryland. Coach Andy Vogel’s Bullets topped Division II Alderson-Broaddus 30-14, Penn State-Mont Alto 57-0 and Scranton 27-15. Gettysburg 133-pounder Louie Carusillo picked up the Dundie Award for fastest fall in the dual against Scranton.

The only one I stuck with was the Berlin Walleye. I’m actually losing to a bunch of other podcast nerds in one league. I’m like 0-10. But I’m in the running in my league with a bunch of former colleagues from the paper, some of whom are NFL beatwriters. Podcasters know more about fantasy football than sportswriters.

Albright College men's basketball coach Rick Ferry shares with the Zeke the story of the Lions' 2016-2017 season in which they surprisingly reached the MAC Commonwealth Championship Game despite finishing with a losing overall record at 13-14 but going 10-6 in the conference. Albright lost the title game to top-seeded Lycoming 76-62, but the fact that they even reached the title game was a remarkable turnaround. The Lions were struggling miserably on offense but the emergence of Fred Rowles as a scorer to complement leading scorer Dejuan Smith and Omari Ringgold fueled their strong finish. Smith, a junior, and Ringgold, a senior, were named to the All-MAC Commonwealth Men's Basketball Team -- Smith earning second-team honors and Ringgold making honorable mention. As for the turnaround as the season progressed, Ferry tells Zeke: “I don’t think you can point to one thing -- we’ve been on a rebuild for the past few years. We weren’t necessarily pretty but we were playing good, we had some good losses.” Ferry tells Zeke that a difficult non-conference schedule contributed to their sub .500 season. “I consciously built up our schedule this past year,” Ferry tells Zeke. “It doesn’t matter what our overall record is as long as we do well in the conference and have a shot at the NCAA playoffs. My boss looks at team GPA, retention and graduation rate before wins and losses.” The cost of attendance at a private college like Albright can make recruiting a challenge. “You can’t give scholarships in Division III,” Ferry says, then adds with a laugh: “If you’re really poor and really smart you will get a great financial aid package.” Regarding recruiting, Ferry tells Zeke: “You never know what will make a person tick. You want good work ethic. You want someone who is highly motivated.” When Zeke asks what gives him the most satisfaction in coaching, Ferry replies: “Watching these guys develop. They come in as 17- and 18-year-old boys and leave as 22-year-old men.”

Delta aids downed SR22, Cessna 182s seem nose heavy but aren’t. Here’s why + how-to tips for landings that won’t crunch the nose gear. 182s and Bonanza hit by expensive service bulletin. Click here to send a Listener Question you'd like answered on the show. If you're thinking of buying a new or late model Cirrus SR20 or SR22, please contact me as early in your decision making process as possible, so that I can provide you the most assistance. Landing Technique in the Cessna 182 The Cessna 182 is an excellent aircraft, but it has one knock against it that’s undeserved. Many pilots say the Cessna 182 is “nose heavy,” making it difficult to land. I respectfully disagree. The Cessna 182 is not difficult to land, IF you know how to land it properly and remain proficient through practice. And while calling it “nose heavy,” seems to match what pilots experience when landing the aircraft, an aeronautical engineer would blanch at that description. The C182 balances at its center of gravity like any other aircraft; the front end is NOT heavier than the back end. It is true that nose wheel damage and bent firewalls are common for 182s that have spent their lives as rental aircraft. So yes, it’s easier to make a bad landing in a 182 than in a 172. And those bad landings often involve the nose wheel hitting the runway before the main wheels touch down. If you want to know three simple steps for better C182 landings, skip to the end of this article. If you want to know why those steps work so well, listen to this episode! General Aviation News Two people on board a plane that crashed into the side of a mountain at Olympic National Park in Washington state on Sunday evening have survived after making a distress call picked up by a nearby Delta Air Lines flight.

The first Regional Rankings have been released and with them comes what appears to be the usual chaos - upsets, near misses, unexplained losses, etc. The first rankings also bring with them plenty of questions: what do they mean? What teams are in trouble? Who may be in surprisingly good shape? And they also change the scope of conference races. On Thursday night's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh hoped to tackle many of these topics especially with some of his guests. McHugh talked to coaches from the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes and West regions. Some are in good shape and others know the pressure is to secure an automatic bid. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com starting and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Don't forget you can also send your questions to the show and have them featured on the Hoopsville Mailbag segment.

It isn't easy to coach at any level. It is a joy to coach Division III says many a coach. Some enjoy it on their way up the ladder, others on their way closer to retirement, and others as their passion. Thursday night we talked to many coaches in different aspects of their careers with varying teams who are succeeding on the court and off of it because of what coaching has taught them including facing the challenges no one should face especially off the court. Thursday night's Hoopsville (seen below) was a jam packed show. Dave McHugh talked to programs who are leading their conferences or in the hunt facing the challenge that not everyone expect them to be competitive. He also talked to a few coaches who are taking care of more than Xs and Os. They are taking care of their team after a horrific circumstance of a player's murder or looking out of their own battling cancer. Guests include (in order): - Scott Hemer, SUNY Geneseo women's coach - Chris Downs, St. Lawrence men's coach - Dan Priest, Kenyon men's coach (NABC Coach's Corner) - Guy Rancourt, Lycoming men's coach - Amanda Bailey, Luther women's coach - Jacquie Hullah, Carnegie Mellon women's coach

With little success historically, Andy Lausier knew what he was getting into when he took over the Sacred Heart wrestling program four years ago. On Episode 211 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Lausier about his post at Sacred Heart and the plans he and assistant Derek Moore have on October 22-24 when the two will run 60 miles to Madison Square Garden as a fundraiser for the program. A Division III All-American at Lycoming, Lausier is one of two head wrestling coaches in Division I who were Division III athletes.
